Like many children all over the world, my daughter arrived home from the hospital to find a Filipino baby nurse.
Vangie was with her from the very beginning of her life, and in time, my daughter came to know her son, her daughter-in law, their kid -- and in time, an extended family and friends -- in New Jersey, Southern California and the Bay Area.
And of course, most importantly, Jacques, Vangie's grandson, her best friend, from whom she has been inseparable since infancy -- her older brother in every way but biological. Partners in crime.
If I go back through old photos today, at least half will be of the two of them together.
