ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

This newspaper article was saved by my mother. My mother has recently passed away. I was 18 years old when I wrote this article. I am now in my senior years. May God bless my mother! Love, Evelyn Pinto My Mother's Daughter December 22, 2021

Yesterday was a good day! Monica and the 3 oldest of her 5 children came to visit me. It was an enjoyable time being with Monica and Lucia, Joseph and Theresa! I have known these children since Lucia was 3 years old and Joseph was just a baby. I taught these children during the Celebration of the Mass.  I held Theresa and Miriam as newborn babies. (Grace was born last year in 2020, during the Pandemic). The visit with the children was an extra nice way to celebrate Christmas and, also, to welcome the baby Jesus. Thank you, God, for my family, my friends, my church and church family, for enough to eat, a place to live and call "Home" and people to help me care for myself and to care for me when I cannot. Thank you, Lord, for Life! Thank you, Lord, for Jesus! Evelyn Pinto December 21, 2021

                     Tufts University located in Medford and Somerville, Mass., does a lot of outreach into the surrounding communities, especially in Somerville, Mass. I happen to live in an assisted senior living residence, where some awesome Tufts University graduate students, studying Occupational Therapy, have been assigned. I was fortunate and blessed to have 2 wonderful, helpful and delightful students, Erin and Anna, assigned to me. Erin and Anna were helpful to me, especially doing stuff for me in my apt, I was unable to do. Erin, Anna and me also had fun, lots of it! Yesterday, December 2nd, was the last time Anna, Erin and myself were going to meet together. Usually this would have been a sad time but, it turned out to be a blast, a totally fun time! We had a Christmas Party! I brought gifts for my 2 young friends, including pictures that I had shot and edited myself and then had mounted these photos on special cardstock and wrapped them in colored ribbons.
