It was Analyn's birthday, and Lyneth was determined to make it a special day for her daughter. She had been planning for weeks, and she had finally come up with the perfect idea.
"Mrs. Santos, can I ask for a favor?" Lyneth asked, as she was serving breakfast.
"Of course, Lyneth," Mrs. Santos replied. "What do you need?"
"I want to throw a birthday party for Analyn," Lyneth said. "Can I use the backyard? And can I invite some of the kids from the neighborhood?"
Mrs. Santos smiled. "That's a wonderful idea, Lyneth. You can use the backyard, and I'll even help you with the preparations. Let's make it a big celebration!"
Lyneth was overjoyed. She had never been able to throw a birthday party for Analyn before, and she was determined to make it a day to remember.
The day of the party arrived, and Lyneth was up early, decorating the backyard with balloons and streamers. Mrs. Santos had helped her make a big banner that read "Happy Birthday Analyn!" and Lyneth had even made a special cake.
As the guests started to arrive, Lyneth's nerves began to settle. She had invited all of Analyn's friends from the neighborhood, and they were all having a great time. There were games, food, and drinks, and everyone was laughing and having fun.
Analyn was beaming with happiness, and Lyneth couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She had finally given her daughter the birthday party she deserved, and it was all thanks to the Santos family.
As the party came to an end, Lyneth thanked Mrs. Santos and the rest of the family for their help. "I couldn't have done it without you," she said, feeling a sense of gratitude.
Mrs. Santos smiled, hugging Lyneth tightly. "You're part of our family now, Lyneth," she said. "We're happy to help you in any way we can."
Lyneth felt a sense of tears pricking at her eyes. She had finally found a family that cared about her, and she was grateful for their love and support.
