DADDY ...

I have been M.I.A. lately and have not posted anything in months. My beautiful Daddy passed away on January 10, 2022, a mere five days before his 92nd birthday. It was a year of spending every weekend at his house to take care of him and give my sister a break. He was THE MOST WONDERFUL, PERFECT father ever. So very evolved for a Hispanic man who raised his daughters to live on their own, experience life and find out who were were as women. Never judged. Never criticized and never shamed any of his children. He was a prince of a man with the soul of a poet and I will miss him every day until I die.

Probably about 19
