La Familia Delgado


Yesterday and this morning have been good days for Dad. We are thankful for this! He's been fitted with a truss to aleviate the pain caused by the hernia, which will not be corrected by surgery.

My mom has been trying to reach Uncle Frank Delgado so if anyone knows the best time to catch him at home please do let us know!

Phil, you once sent me a note in the mail and signed it “Unc. Phil”. I thought, he’s not my Unc. Phil. Now, I know why….. Uncle Phil.

A lot has been said here about you brother and so true to the word, talented, generous, kind, thoughtful, spirit that none other can match. But, there is one thing that we can say that no other one can………..your our loving brother……………and no one can take that away.

I wanted to add this poem I found:

MY BROTHER, a poem by Chandrasekar K from India

Brother, let’s come together
For celebrating this bond of ours
That’s made to last
To the day before we may not see

I may be here
You may be there
Can’t forget the space
That we share

That warm hug of yours
Curing me of all fears
That pat on the shoulder
Reminding me to be bold

Passing a hint to lure a pretty thing
Preparing me to face the test
Ridding me of the mental block
To prove to the world my real worth

I see in you the friend and the guide
That taught me ways to swim against the tide
And face the world of good and bad
To bring honor to mom and dad

I wish to see how we stand
Compare silver streaks and patches gone bald
Measure your charm and feel your warmth
To talk about the dough earned and fingers burnt

Good old friends
Helpful neighbors
Dear father and dear mother
And you my dearest brother


With all our love and prayers to you and your family
The Delgados
