After we left lunch, curiosity gnawed at me about Claudia and her dad, but I knew I had to tread carefully. We spent the rest of the day with her siblings, and I quickly grew fond of her family. Humble, yes, but there was an undeniable warmth and sincerity in how they cared for one another. Her siblings were a joy, and I felt grateful knowing they had been following my work. Their supportive words reignited something in me, a desire to dive back into football.
Claudia's mother, soft-spoken and gentle, shared many traits with her daughter. She was kind, always checking if I was comfortable, exuding a natural nurturing energy. Yet, the fatigue in her eyes made me wonder if she ever received the same care she so generously gave.
