Martin Luther King Jr

Kobi has a new friend in the neighborhood. He is a real sweet boy. Kobi came up to me today while I was making breakfast and said "Mom can I tell you something?"
I said, "Yes."
He said, "Who was that lady that fought for black people so they would be free?"
I said, "The one that wanted to sit in the front of the bus? Rosa Parks?"
He said, "No."
I said, "Martin Luther King, Jr.?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Well, he is a man."
Kobi said, "Oh. Well, David's Dad won't let David watch shows with black people. He can only watch That's so Raven."
I said, "How do you feel about that?"
He said, "I thought that kind of stuff was over a long time ago. I guess I am not sure what I feel." And he shrugged his shoulders.
I said, "Well, I guess some people still do not think nicely. It's not OK to watch bad shows that have bad words or bad things in it, but that does not matter if they are black, white, asian, or whatever color. So it is not nice to tell your kids that they can't watch something just because of the color of someone's skin. We can't change the way his Dad thinks, but I can teach you what is right and what is not."
We kept talking from there. It is sad to know that there are many people with racial biases still. I just wanted to keep Kobi from not having to deal with it as long as possible. Kids are so cute. They don't see race. Everyone is their friend. I wish the rest of the work thought that way instead of changing the innocence of children.

KC

(Some of our engagement pictures. Dental School has caused my husband to look finer. I know :))

So KC passed his BOARDS!!!!! Yes! Now just 2 more years of school left and one more board exam! Life is looking sweeter already! I am so excited that is is Father's Day (and I really should be in bed!!!). I think K.C. is such a great Father. Kobi made all of these things for him at school and before he went to bed he was so excited about giving him his gifts. He is sleeping with them right now, so that he could give it to him first thing in the morning. So cute. I am so glad that KC is my best friend! He is truly a good guy.

Now on my real Father. It's sad to say that I try and keep a relationship with him. He lived in Puerto Rico now with his wife that I won't say much about. My kids are his ONLY grandkids, and he doesn't ever remember their names, ages, or birht dates. Kind of sad, but you know what...it's OK. I am happy for my immediate family that I am blessed with. KC is the best Father to our kids. I never really knew what it was like to actually have a positive male role model in your life. I am glad my children will never experience that. Happy Father's Days to all the Wonderful Father's out there and to those who could try harder.

So I think my child has her Dad's skin. Darn it. I need to remember to bring sunblock! Kobi and I never had that problem. Kobi said to me "Mom. I need some too or I am going to get cancer." What a smart boy...and he is right!


So does my child like babies or what!




Baseball is done. On too....


GOLF!
