Well it's been a long while since I last posted, but my living arrangements leave me with lil time and privacy to do what I need to do. I am very grateful and appreciative to my friends that have taken me in, but I am ready to have my own space again.
Well this is Easter weekend and I am here in Austin (okay Round Rock and Pfluegerville) with my family enjoying the nice weather and great hospitality of my big sis and her family and that of my niece and her family as well. They are super great for letting me and my lil sis and two of her boys stay with them.
Things have been great at work and with family. It's really great when everybody gets along and understands the value of family.
It is kinda strange to me how the strong wills and "say what you feel" personalities of my family don't extend themselves to each other. When we have something to say that we think may hurt someones feelings, we don't say anything. Rather choosing to talk behind their backs and getting frustrated with behaviors and attitudes. I have that problem sometimes also.
I think it's crazy that with everything that has gone on, we still haven't gotten everything out in the open. Why can't we sit down and discuss our feelings about everything that happen and just hatch things out. Yes I agree not everyone will be happy about the words or expressions used, but I strongly believe that getting it out there will make everyone feel better.
I suggest a family meeting with the adults (adult nieces and nephews also) with a mediator to help control the room. Nothing physical or anything like that, just a healthy discussion of how we all feel.
We are all adults and have a VOICE so why not use it.
Tell me what you all think and let's set it up...
I love you all and I think it's high time we because ADULTS!!!

I created this blog for a fun way to share old and new family stories. To reaquaint ourselves with eachother and our lives.
My Family
Welcome everyone to the Garcia Gazette. This is blog that posts goings on of the Garcia Family of South Texas. We are are a family of nine children and two wonderful parents. My name is Joseph Garcia. I will be posting information about what our family is doing and so on. I am new to this, but I like to write and keep in touch with my family so hopefully my family will contribute and enjoy...
I'll start with some history and along the way add some adventures my family and myself had as I was growing up and as adults... We are a very loving family and care for each other very much although sometimes we get on each other's nerves... But nobody messes with us.. LOL
This month marks the two year anniversary that our dear father passed on. He was an incredible man. He provided for his family. Not only monetarily, but with wisdom and love. He was there for each and everyone of us throughout our lives. I can remember as a child thinking that he did not love me cause he used to pay more attention to other members of the family, but I came to learn that he was paying attention to me and watching, knowing that I had the strength to endure any hardships that came my way. He knew that he had taught me well on how to take on the world and take care of myself. He was strong and gentle all at once.
As a kid you look up to your parents for guidance and support and you see strength and endurance. I remember coming back from living in Houston and seeing my father in feeble condition and it tore me up. I could not believe that the man that I admired for so very long was growing old. It was very surreal to me. As a child you think that your parents will be there forever and ever, never realizing that they are simply human too. My dad was my superhero...
