Restarting The Esparza Blog

Today, I was encouraged by Corina and Friends to restart posting on The Esparza Blog again.  So much has happened since I last posted on August 31, 2016.  Many very difficult days, weeks and months and year.  At the same time, I feel very blessed and thankful to God for My Wonderful Family and Friends whom have not left my side.  Yes, very Blessed!

Much happen on October 2, 2016.  All holidays were very difficult.

Last Night on Waikiki Beach

Today, being our last day on Waikiki Beach, we spent the whole day just relaxing and enjoying this wonderful resort.  It has been an awesome week with our Wonderful FAMILY!  We could not have asked for a better time!   We are truly blessed and Thank God for his gifts.   We thank Joe and Corina for showing us a great time and making all the arrangements for us.  We also thank My Brother, Jesse and Berta for coming with us and being so helpful and patient with us.  LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY!
