“To my beautiful sons, at one time, I was convinced that the world was not ready for another mouth to feed. But then I met an old Mexican fisherman in Vera Cruz who told me, ‘Se?or, you need to have kids because you’re the kind of man that will bring mouths that feed into the world.’ And he was right. I’m so very proud of you three and how you’re using your creativity to make this life a little bit better for us all. You inspired me to return to PCC and to use the voice I found in those classrooms to become a writer. It was amazingly cool that we were on campus at the same time! Real hope depends on the power of the imagination. And that, I think, is the best thing anyone can ever give to a child. I love you all for who you are.”
