July 9

Vitor reading a letter his mom wrote in 1985 while cleaning

In the letter Dalvinha writes to Othon for his 4th birthday saying she would start writing stories about their life.

She says that she and his father got married on July 9, the same day her mother was born…

Did you hear that mom?! She got married on July 9th!!! The same day as her mom’s birthday! That’s me! She’s me! In so many ways…

The books she reads, the age she got married and had kids…

The upsetting part is that Vitor has been trying so hard to not follow in his father’s footsteps and didn’t want the years, numbers, or anything to feel familiar to the divorce he went through in his childhood.

That date of our wedding and engagement being on July 9th was such a clear obvious choice and force that it’s so apparent that the universe/angels/ God have it’s own plans and it feels too parallel.
