If hope was a degree of kinship, it would simply be described as “familiar”. Because hope manifested in a family will never be exclusive, but always inclusive: it’s in the first, second or third cousin, in the uncle by affinity, in grandma’s new boyfriend, in the daughter’s best friend, in the father, the mother, the great uncle and the adopted grandfather. Hope doesn’t have a degree of kinship because she resides in the family union. She’s not even a relative – close of not. As long as there is fraternal, paternal and akin love, hope will always be the heart of the family. Creative direction by Miguel de la Vega. Photography by Alva Galim. Styling by Alba Melendo.
