A Day in a Mexican Life... by Kristin Espinasse
In Search of Lost Time
On this journey I had the privilege to get to know my step-dad, who, all these years I misunderstood.
After asking John for his forgiveness, I listened meekly for his reply.
John answered, with a twinkle in his eye.
"Kristi, one thing you will discover about Mexico, is that the expats here are either "Wanted"... or Not Wanted."
With that, John confided, "Something I have learned in life is that everything changes. What's important is to be grateful for every moment."
"Reunited."
"Angel Wings". When John presented me with this delicate poncho, I realized I had recovered those lost wings.
ADIEU MR JOHN
