Express News Feature Story
When I was back home, a reporter called from the San Antonio Express-News and asked if she could write a feature story on mom. I know she would have been flattered and proud. She would have hesitated at first, but would have been happy. Here it is.

Thanksgiving 2009.
Back at the ranch, in San Antonio, Texas. It was a fun Thanksgiving. Mom cooked the turkey with all the trimmings and we got to celebrate her birthday together. It was a holiday we won't forget.

A Note For You.
.jpg)
Mom, I hope that you are hearing this.
We are all at our house in Los Angeles...Dad, Amanda, Martina, Abbey and Me. It's too bad that you cannot be here with us. It's not the same without you here. You would love to hold Abbey in your arms. She is so cute. She is becoming more alert.
We know that you are here, looking over Abbey, protecting her.
We want you to look over Dad, too. He is very sad without you. The loss of you is great.
Even though we know we will see you again soon, right now, the loss feels very final.

Joe's Hamburgers
A couple of days after Mom's funeral, Dad and I had to go to John Benbow's home. On the way back, we decided to drive by our old house on Glentower. Afterwards, we found ourselves on Blanco, so I thought it would be nice to take a trip down memory lane and travel the length of Blanco, all the way to Beacon Hill and the house where Mom grew up and our grandparents lived. We passed by all the old sites and landmarks I saw as a kid on countless trips back and forth from my grandparents growing up. Nimitz high school, the Wedgewood apartments, the Oblate seminary, Chris Madrids, and finally....Joe's Hamburgers. And the amazing thing is....Joe's was open. The old rundown stand without a sign or sign of life was actually open, which is rare, since Phyllis come in when she wants and only opens from 11:30 to 1:3o.
