When this 90-year-old "abuelita" (grandma), Estefania Diaz Alvarez, shared with her family that she had never had a birthday mariachi, they knew they had to make it happen. After all, life is short, and celebrating milestones is what makes life worth living. Even though her beloved husband had passed away over five years ago, her family wanted to make sure that she felt loved and cherished on her special day.
So, they organized a surprise birthday celebration that she would never forget. As soon as the mariachi band started playing, Estefania was overcome with emotion. She couldn't believe that after all these years, she was finally experiencing her first birthday serenade.
Tears of joy streamed down her face as she listened to the music and felt the love and warmth of her family, her oldest daughter Berthalicia Campos, including her granddaughter, Jessica Parra who filmed this video, around her. And the surprises didn't stop there. Later the family revealed a stunning fiesta that they had planned for her.
Even though life has its ups and downs, moments like this remind us of the joy and love that can be found in even the simplest of things. Happy 90th birthday, Abuelita, Estefania!
