My Grandpa

Aawww, yes family...what a pleasure it is to have them. This is my grandpa Chon, full name is Concepcion Valdez. I am very fortunate to have him, he is my only grandparent left and I have him living only minutes from where I live. I wish life was not as "busy" now days as it was before. Seems like life was so much sweeter back then. Like with family and life. Back when they used to sit on the porch every afternoon and just talk about life. We have so many things made easy for us now days, everything seems to be rushed. Hurry to the bank before 4:oo or the money won't go in tonight, go return the movie before 8:00, or you'll get a late fee, you better go get that car today because tomarrow the sale is over. Not to mention all the options for faster food...I mean down to the cheese, you can buy the block, slice, shredded, or even string! I even seen a can of chocolate that you push a button on the bottom and it heats up instantly!!! Wow, things are getting so crazy! Well, that's how my life feels at times with 4 kids. Time to feed them, clean them, play with them, teach them, and have time to clean the house, cut the grass and go to church! Well, my point is that I don't find as much time to go visit this special man as much as I wish I could.
All my life I have looked up to my grandparents for the example they have left behind. We can definitly only wish to live as long as they did and love as much as they have. My grandpa Chon aka: welito Chon is a great guy. He is currently assisting a Adult care center where he says he feels like he's at home. He has many friends there and he really enjoys going half of the day during the week. He showed me a pic of a recent King and Queen contest they had there, he was crowned King, soo cute!! I wish he knew how to send me the pic so that I could post it. Next time I go visit I will try to email it and post it here. He had the whole cape and tall crown, they went all out and well the queen I guess was his "friend" but he said she wasn't talking to him anymore...lol. Anyways, I love you welito and I thank the Lord for you. May God bless him with good health and more years to come.
