ADIOS MI PAPI

After having a stroke, my Dad passed away early Sat. morning. He was an incredible gentleman
and I will miss him terribly. I posted this
watercolor that my Dad painted a few months
ago. He was so proud of it as well as I and I
needed to share this with all my blogger
friends.

    Seguro que con su esposo, sus hijas y nietos y además, con la pintura, podrá soportar esta desgracia y también estoy seguro que su papi, desde "allí", se lo agradecerá.
