From my dear friend Letha to me.....

A FRIEND FROM ABOVE....
Alfonzo, I prayed for you before we met,
Not knowing who you'd be.
I asked the Lord to send a friend.
One chosen just for me.

I asked that they'd be Godly,
With wisdom of His ways.
A friend to help and guide me
through the troubles of these days.

So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge,
But encourage us as we walk.

The narrow road we choose to follow
May sometimes make us stumble.
But to have a friend to catch our fall,
Teaches us to be humble.

When I asked the Lord to send a friend,
Though many came and went.
He gave much more than I ever asked,
For you are the friend He sent

I love you dearly.
Letha

My brother Luis and my niece, Andrea at the Puerto Rican festival. She's his oldest and she's visiting for the summer. She's a doll.  

Okay, this is one of my dearest friends in the world. Not only is she beautiful, funny, beautiful, loyal, and beautiful, she's down to earth. Did I mention she's beautiful? This was taken before we went to the Puerto Rican festival in Humbolt Park, Chicago, IL
