She said the love story between the two journalists began because of another lady named Guadalupe. Their paths first crossed during a Mexican press trip that visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which houses the tilma from the 1500s, the one that survived the 1920s bomb blast. Since they’re two journalists, telling stories was their trade, so how easy could it be to write their own love story? Easy isn’t probably the right word, but they’d later learn they wouldn’t have to write it all on their own. Time stretched on, life and space moved wider apart when long distances and decisions seemed too far and too long, but eventually, grace —meandering like a stream in the Sonora— found a way. A new family grew in a garden, and today Tamara and J.D. enjoy their life together all because of a woman, La Morenita, named Guadalupe. •
