I Am Your Offspring

My father just finished showing me a song, intended to fall under the cultural music genre of Salsa. Handwritten on white, lined paper. He signed and dated it in the year of 2002, in early July. It is completely written in his mother tongue of Espanol.

As I listened and looked at the paper that consisted of one well thought out verse and a solid chorus, he told me that he was inspired and could not sleep on this night of July. It was beautiful & poetic. I cannot help but admire this newly found side of my father. Although it took 10 years to reach me, this inspiring experience has contributed to more clarifying knowledge of why I am, who I am.
...and who I'm becoming everyday.

I am your offspring and will always be so grateful to be your and Mom's son, and the older brother you gave me the opportunity to be.
Muchos gracias, Dados.

Love,
Joseph Erain Gonzalez
