Cucurrucucu at Xochimilco

This lovely lady and spouse of mine has been through "thick and thin" with me during our adventurous and thrilling times together. ++Father of four precious children (now all middle-aged adults) who all happen to have special needs and all who continue to share heart and home with us. God has blessed us with each one. ++"Uncle" to scores of fabulous nephews and nieces (some related by blood, others related through love). ++Proud Godfather (Padrino) to a bunch of fantastic godchildren scattered here and there and everywhere around the globe. ++Compadre / Amigo / "Tio" / to a lot of dear folks who are extremely tolerant of my shortcomings... especially my limited knowledge of the Spanish language. ++Blessed with more than a few fantastic friends. ++ Forever "Best Friend" to an awesome Chocolate Lab (affectionately known as "Ruby the Wonder Dog") who sadly has left us and gone to Doggy Heaven. ++Soon to be new "Best Friend" is a Silver Labrador puppy named "Bella Luna" (for an explanation of her name watch the movie "Moonstruck"). ++Tolerated by an affectionate Calico cat who acknowledges the names of "Nina" and "Kitty Kitty" (...only when she wants to!) ++Challenged by cancer since late 2012 and surviving day-by-day... thanks to receiving marvelous medical care and having a fantastic cadre of family and friends. ++Continuing to be challenged by a handful of side-effects from the cancer treatment but imbued with the power of positivity and the overriding power of prayer. ++Supported in ardent prayer to this very day by people of various faiths and religious denominations... in good times as well as in bad... and ...in light of all the above...*this* humble soul feels marvelously surrounded by LOVE ...and this my dear friendly readers... all of this I see as truly making for...
