A Storybook Day for my Little Princess


Sometimes in life we are fortunate enough to be given " The Gift ".

In my case, its my daughter. Born almost 15 years ago, she is the most important person in my life. Mandy is my best friend, my reason to exist, and my touchstone.

Must be true what they say........take 2 mediocre individuals and you get a exceptional person.

Last week we celebrated her Quincinnera ( Kin-Sin-Nee-Yera ). Its the Spanish version of a Sweet 16 ball, except its one year sooner at 15. Its a tradition on my wife's side of the family. We went all out in the celebration, black tie gala, limo's catered hall, open bar. Soup to Nuts with 160 of our family and friends.

We were touched at how many folks appreciated our efforts. Its a celebration foriegn to our little town. I think the grown ups really enjoyed getting all dressed up and escaping into a high society type event.

Life is now back to normal, but one things for sure. I am truly humbled by how many real friends we have. Good stuff !
