Some more memories of my Papi...You loved drinking milk with your dinner. Reading the Daily Newspaper and looking for the little dog in the cartoon picture. The feather for your ear. Fried lobster tails at City Island. Must have slippers on in the house and say Bendicion. Mayor of 5th Street parking the Cars. PR day parade wearing your PR outfit. If Mami said No I would go to you and sometimes you said yes. You gave me my first set of house keys. Watching the Yankees and playing with my ear. Eating steak sandwiches with you. Love You Miss You.
