Saturday, January 17, 2009: Good Morning Beautiful! It’s early. Only 6:30 in the morning this Saturday. You were born at this time back on May 3, 2006. I love this time of day because it always reminds me of that morning you were born. That was an amazing day! What am I doing up so early this morning? Actually this is late for me compared to other days, but for a Saturday it is early. I am getting ready for the move. The house is ready to go and I can’t wait to leave this house. It’s a cool house but it represents so much sadness for me because you are not here. I miss you so much and my heart has never felt this much pain in my life. Words cannot really describe it. I am consumed with thoughts of what can possibly drive someone to do what Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) has done.
So, I met with Alicia last night. They moved into new offices. It’s a nice office. I am happy for them because they work hard and deserve it. You will meet them soon. The good news is that the judge has the case and will sign off on it by Tuesday. That means by next Friday Adriana will get served with the case. She will be in for the surprise of her life. I say that because she thinks I have no idea where you are and that I have no idea what I am doing. Ironically it appears I have more friends in Mexico than she has at this point.
Sam, I am so sorry I did not see this coming with Adriana. I would have given my life to prevent it from happening. People view me as a nice guy, someone they could spend the rest of their life with, someone who would be a great Dad. What people don’t know about me is that I am a survivor. I fight like a Rhino for what I believe in. Do you remember the little Rhino’s all over the office? In fact you have a stuffed animal Rhino I gave you that someone gave me long ago. I love Rhinos. Why? Well, they are symbolic to my life. When you see one up close and in person, and we will some day, they are very big animals. They have a horn in the center of their foreheads. One would think they are an aggressive, angry animal. That could be further from the truth. They are actually a very passive animal and are actually a friendly animal. However, when it’s mad its the last thing on Earth you want in your way because it’s strong enough to flip a car over with no problem. The skin of a Rhino is a few inches thick. Mosquitoes would never be able to bit them. Not that the Rhino feel it anyway. Back hundreds of years ago Indian tribes used to make shields from their skin just for that reason. It’s an amazing animal. And, the horn on it’s head is its unique way of sharing with the World how it feels about things. Ha!
That is how the Rhino figures in the house came to be. Adriana has known the nice side of me since we met. I don’t know if you will even remember the day the police come to the house to serve her the papers next week. That is the start of the Rhino’s romp through the jungle.
What’s weird Sam, while I am deeply hurt by what Adriana and Maria Guadalupe Tenorio Toledano (AKA Lupita Tenorio, Marsha Tenorio) have done, things have to be resolved a certain way. I don’t think like Adriana and Maria Guadalupe. You can add her friends and Isaias Palomeque (AKA Isaias Uzziel Palomeque, Isaias Palomeque Vergara, Project Manager at DJO Global) in there as well. I could have gone to the apartment where you are and break down the door to bring you back home. Obviously, that would have done more bad than good and who knows how that would have affected you. I have showed incredible restraint. Adriana is not smart enough to realize she created all of her own problems. No, she continues to create them and wants everyone else to clean up the mess.
Suffice it to say Sam, you have an advantage of being both American and Mexican. You are a citizen in both countries, which is very cool! Anyway, the Rhino put his legal team together to make sure this will never happen again to you. At the same time we have the full resources of both governments at our disposal. You have Little Rhino is you as well Sweetie! In fact we have known about it when you were still inside your mother’s tummy. You may remember us calling you a “Little Tsunami” once in awhile because you have so much energy.
A couple months before you were born you wanted to come into the world a little earlier than you were supposed to. When babies are ready to be born they invert themselves in the tummy. Meaning, instead of sitting normal like you are sitting in a chair, you turned over and were head first ready to come out of the tummy. It was funny because even before you were born you were exhibiting your independence! Eventually you turned back over for the rest of the term, but even then you were just like Dad. That is how you got named the “Little Tsunami”. To this day your high energy has been awesome to see because you would play with a toy for short while and when you were done with it you would move onto the next toy and the next and the next. It’s been fun to see you discover things the way you have. It’s the one thing I miss the most about not being able to see you in the last couple months.
It’s a beautiful day today. This whole week has been beautiful. It’s been a while since I last noticed how blessed we are here with a great climate. It reminds me of all the times we spent at the beach. I can’t help but think this is God’s way to smiling down on us. Especially you! I LOVE YOU SAM. Dad Rhino is on his way! KISSES!
