“Gosh. My daughter was beautiful. But that was nothing compared to how she looked when she came out of the women’s restroom at Uptown Community at five minutes to two that afternoon, wearing the dress Edesa Reyes and Delores Enriquez had made. She’d elected Edesa to help her into it behind closed doors. “I want it to be a surprise, Mom.” As we all waited for Amanda to come out, I tried to take in the transformation of Uptown Community’s second-floor meeting room. Stu had headed up a deco-rating ...committee of Yada Yada sisters, stringing blue and gold streamers in graceful twists around all the windows and hugging the edges of the serving tables, temporarily pushed back against the wall. The piñata dangled from the center of the ceiling, just below a cluster of gently waving streamers like the skinny arms of a blue and gold octopus. Below the piñata, a circle of wide-eyed children lusted for its contents. Ruth and Ben Garfield had brought Yo-Yo, her brothers, and a cake from the Bagel Bakery.Happy Quinceañera, Amanda!MoreLessRead More Read Less
