Hello there!
I took some time off this blog while I was attempting to get my life in order. In my absence, I juggled 4 jobs (yes, 4…), I dated some people and broke up with them, I continued going to school, I wondered what the meaning of life is once again but have yet to find out the answer…

During this time, I also suffered a terrible loss. Mr. Bill, the man I came to love as a father, mentor, and friend passed away 3/02/2014 from a heart attack. He was an amazing man who cared for others, always had a recipe or advise to share with customers and friends and last but not least, a wonderful and peaceful smile on his face. He talked to my son as if he was his grandchild and for that I can never repay him. He was so full of life… Definitely someone worth of being in theater. So smart it was almost scary.
I will leave the gory details of his passing out but I can honestly say he never ceases to amaze me. He predicted everything that would happen surrounding his psychical death and what would happen after it as well. He passed doing what he loved and made sure he spoke to everyone at the market that day.
Now, 8 months after his death, I can finally come to terms with the fact that there was nothing I could have done to save him. I always told him I would be truly thankful if I was to find a man HALF as good, caring and honest as he was. I met him back in 2005 when I first walked in his store, Fenix House and I was blessed with his words and wisdom until the day of his passing.
He left specific instructions on what he wanted done after his death and I can honestly say I am doing my part. I keep his picture on my mantel and always have a candle going for him.
I guess this is my way of saying: Your Wennie misses miss you dearly, Señor Bill… More than words can express.
Thanks for reading & buenas noches.
