Retreat 2023

By Lourdes Heras




One day we wake up,


and life as we know it has changed.


We now look in the mirror


and see someone different.


A new person


that early on we may not recognize.



And what one day we may have taken for granted,


are the precious little things


we are glad to wake up for every day!


What used to bother us… we now realize are very silly things.


Each day we wake up,


we are thankful for a sun,


a moon.


Think about our new sisters, and the brother…


we have now


and can talk with about your feelings.




I know I am glad I found you SBC (Laura & William).


I am sure everyone here is glad too.


No one can understand us exactly like you do!




Although remote is how we began.


This process for all of us has brought us closer


Distance does not keep us apart


Whether you are joining us


on an English or Spanish TNT


You know you have a shoulder to lean on, or even cry.




SBC I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation


thank you for your commitment,


transparency and integrity.


Thank you for always striving for excellence.


Thank you for fostering trust and giving us hope!
