On a very cold Valentine's Day in the wee small hours of the morning, Esteban was born with an abnormally large quaff of hair and one blind eye. The nurses put a pink bow in their hair, Mom loved it and Dad would have a hard time with this child for a long time after. Love and streamers of pink, white and red would be braided throughout the child's life for years to come. At 5 years old they started acting, in a production of A Christmas Carol as Ignorant or Want. They never stopped and they never will.
