Your Cousin's High School Graduation Party

I was busy with our graduation party at work and would not get to your cousins party until after 8 pm. I decided to get their before it started and caught up with a couple of my brothers and sisters before things got going at the ceremony.

So I could not give you a ride to the celebration. although I sent a reminder text earlier in the day.

When I arrive when it was almost dark, I was happy to see all four of you there. The Red Mustang was there with the top down and parked in front and three of you were downstairs playing with the video games and hanging with the younger cousins.

It could not have made me prouder to see that you understood why your presence was important to me and my family. When it was time to leave, all of you said good bye to your Uncles and Aunts in a respectful and caring way.

Gracias...on understanding the importance of family...I love you...

Father's Day

It was probably the best Fathers Day I ever had.

B started out by giving me a card and present. The card said I was one of the greatest fathers ever. The gift was simple but meaningful, a creamic jar to keep my jewelry inside.

I got a text mail from CV who thinks of me as a father figure, probably becuase I try to give her too much advice, although she is 27 years old and her own father is 72 years old.

I picked up J from his cousins house and went by the school to catch up on a little work. We had some leftovers from the Founders reception the day before and we headed over to your mom's house.

Three of my four children were there. We ate a nice lunch of turkey and ham sandwiches and a fruit salad.

I got two Fathers Day cards. The first one was written by your mom. The front cover said that you guys are always asking me for rides and inside my answer was " I am on my way...." She also included a gift card for dinner at the Cranberry cafe.

The second card, their first one ever purchased by my children with their own monies, talked about Peanuts Character Snoopy and Siesta. It said the Spanish word for Siesta was taking a well deserved nap.

HE texted my Happy Fathers Day from Milwaukee and B gave me a Fathers day rub down...

All in all the greatest Fathers Day...ever
