Our Adorable Immigrant

Today my niece gave my daughter a present so special that I welled up. It was a ball-chain necklace (like the kind of chain that comes with dog tags) with 2 charms, a beautiful little white soccer ball charm with black hearts instead of black pentagons and a tiny little silver charm in the shape of a soccer jersey with the inscription "BFF" meaning best friends forever, of course. Around the kitchen table tonight with a dozen or so of the family gathered, my mother-in-law told everyone about the beautiful charm that said, "E Effe Effe".
