«Mom couldn’t be there for your first day of school because of her work, but he was there… His hair was combed, he was wearing a dress shirt, dress pants, formal shoes, and he looked very handsome. He knocked on the apartment door to take his great-granddaughter to kindergarten,» confessed Maca, the girl’s guardian, proudly.
The first day of school is one of the most unforgettable of our lives. It can mark us, because it’s one of the first times we’re around other children our age in an educational environment controlled by an adult. Therefore, it’s a completely new scenario to the one we’ve grown accustomed to over the years. That’s why it’s very important that someone close to us accompany us during those first minutes of this important moment. Usually, this person is our mother, father or guardian, but they’re not always available.

This was the case with Macarena Bazán. This mom couldn’t be at her daughter Luz’s first day of school due to work. She grew anxious because she wouldn’t be able to accompany her daughter on such an important day for her. Her concern grew and she was starting to suffer when her grandfather came to her rescue. Her little girl’s great-grandfather was present to accompany his great-granddaughter on her debut into school life, showing an admirable willingness to help his granddaughter and be a fundamental companion in a very transcendental moment for one of the youngest members of the family.

He knocked on the apartment door to take his great-granddaughter to kindergarten. He was more anxious than Luz, and I melted with love when I saw how she ran into his arms, happy to see him arrive and because he was going to be her companion on this important day. Every day, I am thankful to have him with us. Tata Tito is our guardian angel.”

This elderly relative’s offer resulted in a beautiful photo that captured a moment that Macarena Bazán and her daughter will most likely never forget.
This elderly man and his great-granddaughter appear in the photo hand in hand. They have several generations and years of difference between them but share an affection and love that makes them very close on such an important day for her.
