Sunday, August 1, 2010: Another Saturday went by so fast Sam. I am so sorry. It’s hard to figure out what we can do under these conditions. I brought my camera yesterday. I was hoping to get pictures of you to look at in between these Saturdays. I ended up video taping the conditions in which we have to spend time. It’s pretty compelling when you see how restricted we really are during these visits. We make the most of it, for sure. Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) was actually nice to me too. Why? I have no idea. I suggested that we find something to do so we can do things outside the house. Adriana actually agreed and suggested suggested we go to a movie.
Despicable Me was playing and it was pretty cute. I enjoyed watching it with you. At one point you took off your sandals and rested your head on my chest with my arm draped over you. I absolutely melted Sam. I watched you more than I watched the movie. Seeing you smile and laugh was worth everything to me. I hope we can have more of those moments going forward.
Before it was time to leave for the movie, Maria Guadalupe Tenorio Toledano (AKA Lupita Tenorio, Marsha Tenorio) embarrassed herself with her antics on Saturday. You wanted to take me upstairs to play with your toys and Maria Guadalupe went into a fit. She was running around locking all the bedroom doors, asking us to go downstairs. You told her “NO” so many times that the more you told Maria Guadalupe “NO” the angrier she was getting. Unbelievable. I have absolutely ZERO interest in anything in that house other than you Sam. Even the furniture Adriana had stolen from me, I could care less. I don’t care what Maria Guadalupe has to say either. It’s not her house. Furthermore, Maria Guadalupe has ZERO authority over me when it comes to you. Period. I am your Dad, she is not. It’s that simple.
Nothing will take away from the great time we had yesterday Sam. Sometimes my drive home from Mexico is spent in deep thought and sadness. I was sad to say good-bye again. I will never get used to that look on your face when you see me leave. KISSES SAM! DADDY LOVES YOU SO MUCH!
