Monday, June 18, 2012: Hi Sam! I got to see my Little Princess today! It was not in a way I wanted, but I will take it. Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) reached out to me in a voice mail followed up by an email. I am not sure if she meant what she said regarding being worried about me or wishing me a Happy Father’s Day or if she was buttering me up for the inevitable sales pitch that feels like is about to come. After all her birthday is 2 days away. Adriana would not let me talk to you on Father’s Day but she calls to wish me a Happy Father’s Day a day later?
Suffice it to say, I absolutely melted when I saw the video of you Sam. It brought such a wide range of emotions to the surface. It’s beyond surreal that this is how I get to see my daughter.
