Without realizing it, that small project began to grow.
As Valentina took her first steps, my business was also learning to walk.
What began as a simple table in the living room ended up becoming a small workshop.
Then a store arrived.
And later, a company.
Each new achievement reminded me that effort always finds its reward, even if the path is much longer than expected.
Even so, there was something she could never forget.
Every birthday.
Every Christmas.
Every important celebration.
I always thought about my parents.
I wondered if they would ever think of me.
If only they knew they had a granddaughter.
If they ever regretted the decision they made so many years ago.
For twenty years I never received a call.
Not a single letter.
Not a single news item.
Until one morning something unexpected happened.
