To my dear wife Josefa, who said, when I began writing; “I’m not concerned with your past; I’m only concerned with your future.” The most beautiful FCA (Femme d’un certain âge) of my life, and we had 48 years together.
She passed away last 2023. She was, without a doubt, the most beautiful part of my life.
Josefa passed away in 2023.
