The years go by so fast.
The girls become teenagers, then young women.
The house, once full of toys and laughter, gradually empties as they leave to build their future.
Teachers, creatives, committed professionals or mothers in their turn, each forges her own path while remaining deeply attached to this unusual family.
Then comes a symbolic moment.
Forty-six years after that famous rainy night, the nine women gather around Richard, now elderly.
The photographs immortalize the scene: nine bright smiles surrounding the one who chose to believe in them from day one.
For many, this image tells an exceptional story.
For Richard, it’s simply proof that a promise made from the heart can transform a life… and sometimes even nine.
This extraordinary family story continues to move those who discover it today.
