Two years has past since your passing, it was at this time that you last spoke to me.
Angel Marie will be 2 years old come January 2006.
How time goes by so fast.
My marriage has come to end because Lupe wanted it to end.
We're now 65...are we any wiser than when you and I would walk hand in hand down Main Street, in the Harbor?
We're so much in love than...sad you call it to an end because I had enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, without letting you know.
Many a day, you come into my mind, just like you did while I was in Vietnam...
May God grant you eternal peace, my dear
"Pirate"...
