In the last days of my father, he spent more time with his family. Surrounded by his grandchildren; 12 and counting, here is "Nunu" posing for a photograph with my 2 sons. The smile behind the facade shows how proud he was of his grandchildren.
In the spring of 2015, "Nunu" arrived from Europe to celebrate my big 60th. Before the birthday bash begins, my father poses for this photograph with his 2 grandsons. This is the last photo we have of my late father before his unexpected passing some 2 months later.
Nunu danced, he laughed, he drank, he flirted with a ll the pretty married women including the house hold help before he retired for the night. He celebrated my birthday in style and did not miss a beat. We miss our "Nunu" and think about him everyday.
