While I travel, I like to send photos and videos to these two. Keep them in the loop, show them people, places and foods they haven’t encountered yet and remind them that Papi loves them.

At one point during my Cuba trip, Olin asked HRM to make sure I brought back a gold colored 1950’s Chevy to drive around in Seoul.

Another time it went like this:

- “Mami, let’s move to Cuba”.

“Why?”

- “So that when we wake up tomorrow, Papi will already be there.”

And my all time favorite riposte to a video from New York:

“Luca, what did you think of Papi’s video?”

- “I miss Papi… love you Papi!”

“Olin, how about you?”

“Olin, anything you want to say to Papi?”

- “Someday, I’m going to go a lot further away than Papi and send HIM videos!”

I hear you mis niños bellos. No more photos, no more videos. Just a flight home. I’ve missed you so.
