On my 50th birthday, at 6:27am my father at 81 years old, sent me a happy birthday message! He has been my role model, his quiet way of being there for the family, showing and doing rather than talking, his love for me and his expectation that I should reach my potential and his beaming pride of his son; I am the man because of his love. I thank my dad for showing me the way, taking care of our family and also that I feel his love for me every day. | ![]() |

Kate turned 6 today. Happy birthday my little girl. It’s so wonderful to have you in my life.
Having a child has taught me to look at life with a fresh pair of eyes. To look at life in a positive angle. She shows her feelings and her love without reservation and this is still something I’m learning how to do.
I look at Kate and I’m just amazed to watch a wonderful human being grow up into a little girl who has a great sense of self worth, self love and boundless love for her family.
Happy 6th my wonderful baby girl
For Kate’s Fifth Birthday Party At http://mocha.org/
We had 23 kids, probably 18 parents packed into a 2 hour
birthday party for Kate. I got up at 6:30am to cut up 3 cantelopes, 2
melons, 1 4lb papaya, 10 apples, 6 pears, 8 bell peppers.
The dish I’m most proud of is this big bowl of finely chopped pear, fuji
apple, bell peppers. It was a very refreshing salad, the pear gave it
the sweetness, the bell pepper made it taste like a grown up salad, the
apple gave it the crunch.
Kate: Do you know who I love the most?
Tony: Mom?
K: nope
T: Me?
K: nope
T: Gandmom? Grandpa? Auntie Liana? Your best friend Olivia? You sister
Lauren?
K: nope, nope. I love all my family the same. This way no one would feel sad.
It’s Kate’s 5th birthday this week., how she has grown. :)
Kate: Dad, how much do I love you?
Kate: More than ice cream! More than the heavens!
