Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand.

Just over the weekend my
mom wanted to go shopping at Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan to get her
pedicure. I was telling my mom lets do it on March 11 when I will be renewing

I told my mom let me check the schedule of my boys so I can figure
out how I can squeeze myself in their schedule.
I decided to go on Monday, March 2 with my mom.
When I came home that day I had heard in the news there was a
locked down in Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan. You realize to this point
if I didn't choose a date to shop with my mom somewhere else we would be
involve in that locked down.
This is when you realize it is not your time to experience
something as horrible as those 50 people have experience that day when a gun
man held 50 people hostage.
You realize how lucky you are and God holds you back not going in
a danger zone.
