Friday, January 1, 2010: We survived 2009 Sam. It was interesting to hear how many people were excited for the new year yet were not celebrating it like is the custom. I am at the beach right now. It’s a beautiful day. People are out experiencing New Year’s Day Southern California style. There is a blimp flying off the coast. I can only guess they are filming some of the scenery as they head up to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl later today.
It was this time last year I was writing about 2009 being the year of change. As challenging as it has been last year, change was happening all around us. Most people are very resistant to change and in times like this that often creates more issues than it should. I love change. I believe we are never too old to learn and grow. Those who stop learning stop living. I know someday we will be together again.
The other day Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) and I had a discussion about medical insurance. I have been paying for insurance for you since you were born. She knows this. I told her the next time I see you I will give her your insurance card to use just in case. Somehow we started to talk about a recent trip to Mexicali she took with you. Mind you she has no money. She’s keeps begging me to help her with her bills yet she won’t let you spend time with me and she wants to have plastic surgery. So it makes perfect sense to drive with you for 3-hours one way to look at real estate. I am being sarcastic when I say that, however the investigators that are keeping an eye on Adriana seem to think she may be trying to expand her business out in Mexicali and open a brothel for her prostitutes. You can’t make this up Sweetie.
So, Happy New Year! I miss you a lot Sam! Words cannot describe how this feels. I do know how it feels to be a proud Dad! I can tell you that I will do whatever it takes to protect you and protect your honor. After all you are my Little Princess! I LOVE YOU SAM! MANY NEW YEAR’S KISSES!
