Hermenegildo
We share the same name. I was named after you.
You wrote well.
I became a writer.
You liked to walk going to Church. I followed you, but, you walked fast, I trailed behind.
You were in your 80s then.
You walked with a cane.
You rarely spoke. I was shy. I don't recall long conversations with you but I do remember receiving a Birthday Card from you.
It was engineered to perfection. Out of your own creativity.
I was young then. All I could say was, "Wow!"
You were a Civil Engineer.
And the bridge you built still bridges over troubled waters.
Thank you and Happy Birthday! I hope I make you proud...
Love and Prayers,
Jaime Hermenegildo
