Joaquin

A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms
when his hands are empty.

~Reader's Digest

I have been through a lot of ups and downs...and the above quote says it all.

I have experienced emptiness - money, food, shelter but my child made me push for greatness.
I have experience excruciating pain - but my child holds my heart and wipe the pain away.
I have experienced rejection - but my child held my head up so I can look proud.
I have experienced sadness - but my child filled it up with laughter and joy.
I have cried buckets of tears - but my child kissed my eyes and dried all the tears away.

I will always be thankful of Joaquin....he's my angel and my protector.
