My niece and nephew are going for a one-week spiritual camping trip for the second time and my sisters asked family members and friends to write them a letter if/when they feel homesick.
It is a real honor for me to dedicate some words to them:

Handsome and youthful little man, I am always
honored to dedicate a few words to the # 1 in the second generation of the Roman
Dynasty.
I am very happy to know that you are growing
into a respectful and fine young man as you have always been brought up.
Keep living a life full of transparency and
honesty and don’t you EVER give up your morals and values because I will always
be there pushing you to reach the summit.
I will NEVER let you give up because that is
NOT a choice.
ALWAYS remember that there’s NO such thing as a
free lunch so fight hard for your ideals because life is about fighting,
conquering, thriving, winning, surviving, prospering, rising, happiness, life,
courage, transparency, purity, hope, energy, good vibes, natural beauty, but
most of all, freedom.
Respect and cherish your mother and all the
loved ones who are behind supporting you.
“The Road to Success”
The road to success is NOT straight,
1)
There
is a CURVE called FAILURE
2)
A
loop Called CONFUSION
3)
Speed
bumps called FRIENDS
4)
Red
lights called ENEMIES
5)
Caution
lights called FAMILY
6)
You
will have flat tires called JOBS
7)
But
if you have a spare one called DETERMINATION
8)
An
engine called PERSEVERANCE
9)
A
divine and powerful driver called GOD
10)
You
will make it to a place called SUCCESS
I love you as if you were my own son and don’t
ever doubt that if one day you are seeking financial, moral, spiritual support, I will be
there till the end of time because the bond uniting us is one of the most
powerful forces in the universe.
I am very proud of you young man!

S. J., I was very happy to hear your joyful
and sweet voice yesterday, you sounded so radiant, proud and full of life to
take another leap as you are now 11 years old!! Thank you for letting me be part
of you and sharing your happiness with me and with all the ones who love you.
Even though we are not close for the time being, I have faith that some day
sooner rather than later we will share countless moments and blessings and I
will witness watching you turn into the fine young lady you were meant to
become.
I still remember that chubby little girl who
was born 11 years ago. Every year that goes by you get closer to being the good
natured girl God wants you to be.
Have fun, live your life to the max but within
the principles that your amazing mother has taught you.
Don’t ever be afraid to take a stand and fight
for your morals, values, ideals and ethics. Always take the less traveled road
and reach all your goals with your own hard word.
If you ever want to spend a summer with me, the
doors of my heart and my home will always be open for you because you are a
part of me, a part of the Roman Dynasty.
As the “princesita”
and “guerrera,” you are do not let
anybody take you the wrong way. Make decisions based on the strong foundation
you were raised with.
I wish I were there so we could spend some
girlie time doing our nails, our hair, writing, watching a movie, reading a
book or relaxing.
Sweetie, I miss you and love you dearly.
ALWAYS live by these rules:
1)
Love
and cherish your mother
2)
Live
a respectful life
3)
NEVER
fall into “bad” influence
4)
Always
fight for your morals, values, honesty and respect
5)
Live
your life like the true lady you will some day be
6)
Don’t
get deceived by the superficial and materialistic aspects of this world
7)
Love
God, respect your loved ones and love yourself
8)
Treat
your body like a cherished temple
9)
Always
smile, even in the midst of turmoil
10)
Fight
the battle called life with your most powerful weapons: your sword - honesty
and your indestructible shields - values
“Who would you be if
you don’t stand up for what you believe?”
