Yesterday was my father's 74th birthday. He has postponed celebrations until after he is released from the neck brace he's been in since falling in January.
Dad is in good spirits though and was teasing me about planting rubber trees in our neighbourhood now that I have my learner's licence and am impelled to take up driving when I called to wish him well yesterday.
My parents have taught me much over the years and continue to be an inspiration to me in the art of survival. Apparently being a little crazy doesn't hurt. Happy birthday Papi!
This picture of my Dad and I was taken in September 2003.
