Pop and Wrestling
As I watched an old Saturday Night's Main Event the only thing I could remember was Pop making jokes about so many of the matches we used to watch at the time. He wasn't a fan, and sometimes complained about how we wasted our time watching it, but there were many times he made that so funny with his comments. He had jokes for some of the angles like once when a scrub wrestler names Jesse James was wrestling and he asked where was Buffalo Bill? Lol Another time when the silly Glow Wrestling was on and one fo the women wrestlers Americana I believe it was, was hyptonized by a bone. He went on to say that he always said the men wrestling was the stupidest thing he ever saw but that women had them beat. As he put it "Las mujeres son las campeonas de las estupideces lol. He had us laughing so much. Once he said que estupide it was for Randy Savage to come out to the graduation theme lol. There are many more stories, all funny as Pop had a great sense of humor at times and would poke fun at anything whether he liked it or not. Some of these memories help me laugh on days I think of him missing him. Thank you for still making me laugh with your funny stories and jokes Papi. I'll miss them always, but will always, treasure them too.
Christmas with dad.
Christmas meant the world to dad. When he lived in Puerto Rico he would get together with family members and do parrandas in which they go to households and sing Christmas songs. With mom and us kids he made sure that Christmas was a special occasion. One Christmas I remember was when he got us all dressed took the train and we went to my sisters Godfathers house and we all had fun. He surprised me with gifts that I thought I wouldn't get. The food him and mom made for the holidays was just amazing especially when he made pernil or the lechón which was one of his other traditions. He would go to the butcher shop and get a whole pig to cook.one half for Christmas and the other was for three kings day which is called little Christmas. He also loved decorating the Christmas tree. He would spend all day looking for the right bulbs in the Christmas lights to light up and wouldn't stop until he did. The holidays will never be the same without him. I want to take the moment to tell dad thank u for making the holidays special for me and for the rest of the family. I love u and missed u very much this holiday season. :(
Thanksgiving with Dad.
Where do I begin when it comes to my dad? So many things can be talked about but since it's Thanksgiving I want to mention about his love for the Thanksgiving holiday. He was the one who always made the Turkey. Some of us would wait the entire year in anticipation of tasting the Thanksgiving Turkey of his. It was that good. My nephew Jason always said one of the main reasons he looked forward to Thanksgiving was for his turkey. Dad always cherished the time he spent with his family on days like Thanksgiving. It meant the world to him. It gave him pleasure and happiness to do this for the family he loved so much. Today is the family's first Thanksgiving without him needless to say his presence was missed so much. the family will do all it can to keep his traditions and legacy alive especially on special days like Thanksgiving. Thank you dad for making the holidays special and with many memories. We will never forget the beautiful memories and we love u so much.
