My Son
First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who has visited my Blog. Thank you for your support and your words of encouragement. I’m eternally grateful. And I apologize with all my heart to those of you who’ve written to me and I’ve taken longer than I thought to get back to you... but soon, I will get in contact with you. You’re all great!
I want to share a letter that my youngest son wrote to me where he expresses what he feels about a comment I made to him, about me going to Puerto Rico once I get my freedom. From what I can see, he doesn’t want me to go over there.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support and for visiting my Blog. Take much care. Later.
Sincerely,
Pedro
Ps. In my son’s letter, he refers to my Mom as “Tata”, to my sister as “Titi Davaina” (“Titi” means auntie) and to her husband as “Teo Jamie” (he means by “Teo”, “tío” and that means uncle).

Children Learn What They Live
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn what envy is.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement, they learn to be confident.
If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to find love in the world.
If children live with recognition, they learn to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn to be generous.
If children live with honesty and fairness, they learn what truth and justice are.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those around them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn that the world is a nice place in which to live.
If children live with serenity, they learn to have a piece of mind.
With what are your children living?
