How strong and unbreakable is a bond between a father and daughter?
Esthela Nez Franco proves it cannot be measured; fathers and daughters spend a lifetime celebrating their eternal bond. Such relationships form before this lifetime and continue to survive after death and beyond.
In Seven Stories for My Father: Letters of Love and Legacy, Esthela Nez Franco takes us on an ephemeral but deep emotional journey, honoring seven decades of her father's life as he prepares to embark on the most important voyage of any human - the afterlife.
Esthela highlights the essence of her soul's transformation as she evolves from being a daughter, to a caregiver, and back to a daughter again. In this tribute, Esthela celebrates her father as her very first teacher and the person responsible for laying the foundation of her life.
Esthela's writings are not to bring focus to a father who is losing a daily battle with cancer and dementia, but to serve as a reminder that there is no such thing as goodbye. Nothing is lost. Everything has meaning when family relationships and human connections are created from vulnerability, authentic love, and intimacy. Esthela shares lessons from her father by detailing the simple ingredients required to live a life to the fullest with wisdom, love, and true grit.
