At a family gathering, everyone stood together for a photograph. My cousin Rosa stayed near the kitchen because she was holding her sleeping baby. The photographer called for us to smile, but my mother noticed the empty place beside her.

She asked everyone to wait while I checked with Rosa. Rosa wanted to be in the picture, but she did not want to wake the baby by moving into the bright garden. She suggested taking a second photograph inside after tea.

Instead, we brought two chairs into the shaded doorway. Rosa sat with the baby, and our grandfather took the other chair. The rest of the family stood around them. It took a little longer, and someone had to move a plant.

The finished photograph showed the whole family, including one very small sleeping face. Rosa asked for a copy to put beside her bed. My mother ordered one too. She said the picture was worth keeping because nobody had been left in the kitchen.
