The men in my life Part II

My brother Jaime, he will never know how important he has been in my life. Why? Because he has chosen not to be part of my/our life so I cannot tell him this face to face. I can't say I understand where he's coming from so I guess I am left with assumptions. I believe that he thinks that he is not good enough to have a family. I wish he would realize that even if he's not perfect, he is perfectly my brother. Jaime has a beautiful spirit about him and can charm anyone. Not having him in my life, is a loss. I hope that wherever he is in his life, he realizes very soon and before it's too late that we all need family. My sadness for knowing that my father misses having his complete family leaves me with a loss of words. If his kids are reading this, I hope they know that even though they have not grown up with us around them, we love them for simply being our family. We don't need to know them to love them. Brother of mine, I send you blessings and offer you a prayer that you find whatever it is that you are missing. I love you and I don't judge you.
Mario aka Mars Bars,

This brother of mine is the closest in age to me. He used to torture me when we were little and I don't think I liked him until like 10 years ago! maybe lol! We had many adventures growing up and I think every kid should have a childhood like ours. We were always barefoot and running around playing with the neighborhood kids or having rock wars! Mario was always barefoot too, in shorts and with no shirt even when we would travel to Mexico in the cold winter. We all know that story very well. I don't think my dad will ever forget it either. I haven't always been close to him but recently, I have seen a different side to him. He now only has one sister and he is making sure to take care of her. I love you Mario! Shavry! no no shavry that's only for you and Juan!!

Raul

This is the brother that was born to be a responsible man. Since my earliest memories, he was always working or being a leader. When my mom passed away, he was the only one who always watched out for me. I will never forget the birthday card he gave me when I turned 15 I think I still have it. He always gave me a hard time for wearing too much makeup and using too much hairspray. What can I say, it was the 80's!

Gum and money always remind me of Raul. He always had stacks of gum from his sports cards and this man (to a young girl) was rich! lol! My brother Raul has a big heart, he's a good father and according to Cecy, he's an OK husband/lover. shhhh! don't tell him I said that! I'm totally kidding!!! Our kids can pass for each other's kids except Jessica cause she's adopted! lol! Again just kidding!

To end this blog, I just have to say a few more things....MAN HAVE I IMPROVED OR WHAT!!! Dang! I look like crap in several of these pictures but i had to use them cause they are the only ones I have!! lol! oh well, it's not where you've been but where your at
