My uncle Rafael and aunt Lipi's 60th wedding anniversary

This past weekend my uncle Rafael (my mom's brother) and my aunt Lydia celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. They had their get together here in Orlando. My uncle lives in Miami but his son and most of their friends live here so they celebrated it here in Orlando.

My cousin's daughter Liliana made this beautiful cake.





Picture of my aunt and uncle from a long time ago. My uncle was funny he said to me, "did you see the picture? your aunt looks heavy in that picture and she was not heavy". Funny, I don't think she looks heavy.




My uncle Rafael Sotomayor, he is my mom's oldest brother (my mom called him Rafa for short). He told me he almost died a couple of weeks ago, he was in the hospital for two weeks. He said he could not breath and they had to call 911. My cousin Lili, his daughter said he had been very sick.




My aunt Lydia (we call her aunt Lipi). She also has been very sick. She had a stroke in 2009, just 2 days after I saw her in Puerto Rico. She is not the same, she can't remember things and is on a wheelchair.





My cousin Lydia's son, Tony Vargas. My uncle Rafael's grandson.




My oldest cousins Lydia (we call her Lili) and Wildin. Rafael's daughters.





My aunt Rosael, my mom's sister in-law. She is married to my uncle Victor Sotomayor (my mom's brother, he passed away last year). Sitting behind her with their backs to my aunt are my cousin Wildin's twin sons.

My cousin Esther Sotomayor, she is my aunt Rosael and uncle Victor's daughter.




My cousin Rafael Sotomayor's son, his name is also Rafael Sotomayor, I guess that makes him the 3rd. Behind him is his brother Peter John Sotomayor. Peter went to high school with my Ashley.
