XV ANOS... Im 16 And I WAS GONNA HAVE ONE..

Hey u guys.. Having a quinceanera is the best thing in the world... Is a real enjoyable moment that u will cherish for the rest of ur life. All my girlz who r having 15th I wish yall the best! Im 16 and I was gonna have a big fancy quinceanera.. I was so excited about it. But um, a week before my 15th my dad died in a car accident. It waS VERY hard for me to accept. Till this day, I hasnt had a quinceanera. I know it`s gonna be different without my dad in it, but i just want to experience what i never got to.. Do yall honeslty think that is wrong? Well I dont know... Well yall tell me what u think. Shoudl I HAVE one?

Hey, um i am sorry about your dad......:(.....but i think you should still have a Quince cuz you should be able to remember something good that happened in your life and you should be able to tell you kids about your special day. But it is also up to you if you want one cuz no one will make you have one if you don`t want it. I think you should go for it....it`s a once in a lifetime chance and maybe your dad would have wanted you to have one cuz life goes on in a good way. I think he would have probably wanted you to be happy. Think about what you will miss out on. Well I hope i was helpful and good luck on your decision Bye.

Thanks for the advice. I do want a 15th but um sometimes I think that it`s wrong to be wanting one after my dad`s accident. Esque yo me quede con las ganas to experience this beautiful experience.. And everytime I go to a 15th, I always cry...Becuz it`s such a wonderful experience they r having and when theyr`e dancing with their dad..They look so happy.. And that is what make me cry more because they are having an experience I will never get to experience again. The only memories i cherish is at my quinceanera recitals where i would dance with my dad and i would watch him goof off with my court of honor. He was so crazy. = ) He`s gonna live in my memory forever. So I just advice yall quinceaneras to thanks ur dad for this wonderful day and cherish him wile u still have him. Well I do want one but were so tight with the money.. I dont care if it`s small what matter is the experience and the fact that u r with ur family. Do u guys have any ideas on how toraise money??

Well a choice you have is to have a fundraiser with your family or if you have extra time you could get a part time job. The more padrinos you have the less money you have to spend.Instead of a hall you can do it like at a house with a big back yard. These are a few things i could think of.

Hey! Although the accident and all about your dad happened, I think you should still have a 15neara. It`s a really special time in a girls life. Although your dad won`t be there with you he`ll be in your heart and watching over you. Some people might say, " she`s having a 15neara after what happened with her dad?" They are going to think that you don`t care, but it doesn`t matter what they think. El siempre va estar con tigo en tu corazon. NO importa que diga la otra gente.
My 15neara will be ion January 17, 2004!!1:)

Hey Isabel sorry about your dad. Well u asked for my opinion so i`m gonna give it to you I think you should still have your quinceanera. Because everything was planned out already right and your dad was involved with all of that he was ready to dance the valz with you and he was ready to do it all for you. I know it`s hard but like you said it`s a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. I know your dad isn`t gonna be there and you won`t get the chance to dance with him but just imagine that you are and know that he`s in heaven looking at you. He would want you to be happy. So have lots of fun and don`t feel bad like Brooke said don`t worry about what other people say they don`t know what you feel inside. My quince is on February 21,2004. If you decide to have your quince when will it be? Oh you can also get all your court of honor and make a car wash, make bake sales, get lots of padrinos and save money from your new job at Burger King!!!!!!!!!!Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, you guys are right! Well hopefully I can make it come true. If I will have it, it would probably be in a little ballroom no more than 1,000 dollars. But it will not matter because what would matter is that you are with your family and surrounded by people who care about you. And that is worth more than a big fancy ballroom. Well, Brooke I live in Texas also! That a cool song for your vals. Well you guys thanks for your advice and opinions. It made me feel better about this whole situation. Thanks alot and always remember though um we live far apart, you guys can count on me if you need help of some kind.
Much Love,

I am very sorry to hear about your dad. I was supposed to have one as well, and now that i am 16 and attend quinceneras i feel jelous at the simple fact that i didn`t have one. I don`t think that you should hold back because of your father`s death, i think that no matter what he will be happy and he will be there on your special(if you decided to have one) he will be watching you and he will smile down on you and see his little girl shine. He won`t be there in person, but his spirit will. Just remember that you should go ahead and have one, its a wonderful experience and i wish you the best of luck! i think it will be a great thing to pay a tribute to your dad and let people know how much you miss him and how much you wish he was there with you in that very special day! hope this made you feel better in some way!
