In LOVE with Harlow

I just found out that I'm IN LOVE with this little nugget! So CUTE! Love HER! 😍😍😍❤❤❤

I don't think I can ever understand why people don't like babies 😕 they're so harmless, and defenseless, yet they bring so much joy and peacefulness to this world! 

Peace & Love

The Man With Endless Stories. My Abuelilto "Grandfather"


This is a painting of my grandparents, it's a replica of a photograph taken in the 50's.

For me, my Abuelito was the most interesting man ever. Ever since I was a child and took my yearly trips to Mexico, my grandfather always had a new story for me. He was a salesman, a very prestigious one. He went through countless adventures in efforts to support his 10 (YES 10), children. He was funny, adventurous ( perhaps that's who I got it from ;-), and loyal. He was an honest fighter. He put all his trust in GOD and never questioned him. His wife, my grandmother, was everything for him, and he would do anything for her. Even at an old age, he always made an effort to dance with her because he knew how much she LOVED to dance. (This I get from my grandma.lol ) 

Hopefully through GOD'S grace, I too will come across a man like this. My other half. Someone who will support and Love me through thick and thin...through the ups and downs; just like my grandfather did with my grandmother. Above all, someone who puts his entire Faith in GOD. 

My Abuelita (Grandmother), can't even be described in words. To be honest she is one of the strongest woman I know. She's been through everything and has managed to overcome it. She too has always put her complete Faith in GOD, despite everything she has been through. She was brave and agreed to open heart surgery at 78, even though all signs (Scientifically) suggested her not to, as it was believed (by the physicians) she would not make it.  Despite what science said, she continued to have Faith in The Lord, and underwent surgery. She made it.

She has lived to witness deaths of Loved ones. 5 years ago one of her daughters suffered and died from Cancer  (RIP Tia Mary). 


Most recently she witnessed her life partner of 58 years, my grandfather, pass away. I will NEVER be able to close to understanding what my grandmother has gone  through. Especially now. I think of myself, and the "heartaches" I have previously experienced, but those experiences were short lived compared to my grandmothers. 58 years. 58 years of living with someone, experiencing everything together, forming a family to one day not having your TRUE "other half" next to you anymore. This is what my grandmother has been through. It's sad, but even with all the pain and suffering, she is thankful to GOD for EVERYTHING. 

I pray to GOD that I one day reach this level of Faith. 




You will always be in our hearts Abuelito. Always.
