Fidel Martínez Ruiz Ana, I see you speak Spanish!! I'm glad for that. I'm afraid I don't remember this poem. Nevertheless the writer Miguel Ramos is also the author of the lyrics of one spanish opera (zarzuela) called "La Tempestad", which I know.

Ana Brusso My mother spoke fluent Spanish and we would sit and listen to an album someone had given her with poems from Spain recited by a man also from Spain and that is the only poem I remember. I don’t know “La Tempestad” but I imagine is beautiful . I’m not fluent but I try.

Fidel Martínez Ruiz Great Ana!

To my hvs godchild Deena, My little Angel Susan Lynn, my hvs brother Richard, Our Rose, Fidel, Valerie Allen, Kimberly, Susan Ackerman and Pamela. Met with my neurosurgeon and he gave us good news. Aneurysm is not attached to the brain, we will wait 6 months and do a scan to see if it has not changed. If it chances the procedure will be done through the carotíd artery by the neck and put a clamp on it. There will not be a brain surgery. Thank Lord and Praise Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Thank you all for your prayers they were heard. I am so grateful for all of you, God bless you

Richard Munson That is such great news ana. My prayers were answered. As you know, he is always shocked when he gets them from me. I was a little pleased reading my biopsy scores but i am reserving judgement till i get some professional opinions sooner rather than later. The 1st is a lifetime away.

Richard Munson I don’t have anything new and exciting in my life at the moment. Other than spending another 2 grand to rebuild the rear end of my car that was making weird sounds. I can now say that everything has been either replaced or rebuilt just in time for me to kick the bucket. I have no doubt that Nancy will give it away for peanuts once she fills in the hole.

Marie Myers I thought you would be buried in that car….

Deena Z Marie- you two are so funny together. Definitely grace and allen.

Marie Myers If only we had those paychecks…

Richard Munson Happy st. Patricks day to you ana. I had my final 6 month post cataract surgery exam today. If you recall, the initial surgery made my eyes worse not better. 2 additional laser surgeries and 3 years later i now can report 20/15 vision. Too bad i had to reach 83 to be able to see clearly but better late than never. I might apply to sniper school.

Ana Brusso You see you continue to make me laugh. (Sniper school)? It might become handy soon, if only to defend yourself. I sure remember your first eye surgery and how they made it worse. But now I’m glad you can see clearly like the song goes. You are a super young 83 don’t knock it. 👌👍🤗🙏❤️

Valerie Allen Richard, my dad had cataract surgery at about 83. All he could say afterwards was “DON’t tell the Army” as he had been rejected for eyesight 😂. Btw he joined the Navy.

Ana Brusso Valerie, that’s a cute story about your dad. 👍😄
