Sammy Came Home...

Sometime in August, it became clear that Sammy would be coming home. There was a hearing where Sammy, through his attorney, described the events that brought him into this situation. Sammy spoke to the victim's family and apologized. Mom and I were concerned that the victim's family might make trouble, but, I believe that Sammy's heartfelt apology combined with the knowledge that the offender responsible for the victim's unfortunate turn has been loose on the streets of Philadelphia for years while Sammy paid the price, moved the victim's family to tears... We also learned that Sammy has been involved in a number of community activism initiatives from supporting military veterans, to Sammy's work with LACEO, and a host of other endeavors to support the community. And, all of these activities were undertaken before Sammy had any idea that he might come home one day. Sammy left an impression on our family, the victim's family, the judge and even the guard wh...

Winter 2009...

New Year's Day There were occasional calls from New Year's well-wishers. I didn't hear from Josh during Christmas, but, he did mange to leave a quick message on New Year's day. New Year's day was itself, quite subdued -- as indicated by Charlie. I spent most of the day working though some issues on the various web sites that I manage. The weather wasn't all that good -- windy and cold. The Mummers parade didn't start until around 10:00am and even though it was only supposed to be six hours this year (due to bugdet cutbacks), it still managed to drag on and on and on and on... I'm not really a fan of Mummers, but, I had the parade on for a bit. Charlie spent most of the day napping. Christmas As Christmas day approaches, the fake tree was decorated and piled high with boxes and bags. Despite the reports of doom and gloom in the economy, we've still managed to put together an impressive-looking pile of goodies for the upcoming holiday. The tree i...

I regret to inform you...

I regret to inform you of the passing of my grandfather, Rafael Rodriguez. Rafael Rodriguez was born on December 3, 1924 in Salina, Puerto Rico. He came to the United States in the late ’40s, bringing with him his mother and daughter and the desire to make a better life for himself and his family. Rafael received a calling to serve God and became a minister in the early ’60s. According to senior members of his congregation, Rafael was instrumental in the founding of 25 churches and touched the lives of many in the Hispanic community. After the death of his wife of more than 40 years, five years ago, I invited Rafael to live with me. He's had some health issues over the years and lately his health has been in decline. Although I knew that "someday" Rafael would leave me, his departure on Monday (April 28th) morning still came as a shock. I am thankful for the time that I had with him. It was Rafael's wish to be cremated and to have his ashes scattered at sea. Rafae...
