We felt the generosity of the people again during the second visit. When we arrived at their house, they had already had lunch but as soon as they found out we hadn't eaten, they insisted on cooking us a homemade meal.
While we examined the boy, the women at the house worked together to prepare us a delicious meal.
J. is 20 years old and has had brain palsy since birth. Even though each one in the family has stablished roles and duties, they rotate to make sure J. is getting the care he needs and deserves.
Scattered through the walls, there were pictures showing the maturing of J.'s siblings through remarkable events. Of J., however, there were not as many. It was evident how limited his life has been.
Shortly after the consultation, we had a late lunch at the house before we headed back to Pérez Zeledón. The journey back was long but with a beautiful view of the hilly countryside.
Kisses,
Mariana
