Heloisie & Ben


I guess we all have family that we finally meet one day in our lives, it has been hard for me to know everyone in my family since my father came to America from Holland when he was 7 years old.  Being an American my family was rather small and being a child, I didn’t know much about looking into my past.  Once when I was 21 I traveled Europe in search of my dad’s side of the family and met his mother’s sister and her kids.  They didn’t look too much like me just tall and of large stock.  So, when we moved to Brasil, I got this amazing opportunity to know Rodrigo’s large family and to meet many of his relatives.
For instance, Rodrigo has a cousin who looks almost identical to him named Cesar and at the wedding last weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting more of his cousins from his father’s side.   Rodrigo’s cousins Vania & Douglas had a little girl who looks just like Ben.  Her name is Heloisie, she is the same age as Ben and they played all weekend together.  This was amazing for me to see, what do you think?
