The Adventures of Captain Imperfecto

You are here: Home » With Love... October 5th, 2012 They were our daughters. We saw them grow each week from the second we saw them lying side-by-side in the womb to the moment the ultrasound technician showed us their faces on the monitor; we knew that they would always be a part of us. A part of her. Six years have passed, and yet, there will be years seven and eight without knowing who you were outside, the life you saw inside, and your mom's womb. And now your mom is gone, too. She is in heaven, holding you the way I had you the day you were lost forever. I hope the warmth we transferred to you through our love and care is now being given to you by your mom as you gaze down upon me from heaven. Although you aren't here for me to watch you grow, you have grown in my mind, soul, and dreams.  Gabriella, I hold you close. I run my hands through your hair and see your mother in your eyes.

"Nico! Sit back, daddy can't see, sit back, Nico. So daddy can see that outside side mirror." The trailer hits the water, and the boat enjoys its bath as it's finally in its element. I jump out of the truck and walk to the head of the trailer, where...

You are here: Home » North, East, South and West October 1st, 2012 I step outside in the early morning.  My foot prints remaining in the morning dew. I take in the beauty of earth in its natural state just before the world comes rumbling through and right before the majestic sun rises from the east. I love it out here, right now, because of the possibilities of what the world could be in the mind of a dreamer. I woke up, so I was blessed with a new day, so for now, I’m doing okay. The air is cool and as I breathe it in, it shocks my lungs and freezes my veins. My blood traveling though my body like a freight train of ice but it’s refreshing as it tantalizes my senses. I couldn’t feel more alive than I do right about now. I feel as refreshed as dry land being quenched with a rain shower from up above.
