Saturday’s Supplication …

Today my wish is simple.  It is a my son-in-law’s birthday.  Although he is not married to my daughter their relationship in Brazil is recognised in law as a ‘stable union.’ So along with certain legal rights;  they both now have a  family of in-laws.  Adilson has a mother-in- law and I have a son-in-law,  of whom I am proud and delighted to have.  He is my second son-in- law and I have a daughter-in-law with whom I share a loving bond.

This relationship is often ridiculed and a object of cruel humour and certainly underrated
I bring honour and celebrate my extended family and today especially Adilson on his birthday
I wish I could be with you.
