My Dad, Luis Velasco Jr., was laid to rest yesterday. He passed away a mere four days past the second death anniversary of my mother, Lirio. He was 82. We had a dramatic, tempestuous relationship, which grew cold in later years. In all honesty, I can lay responsibility for this squarely at my own feet. But looking back, there were also many good memories, all coming back in sharp focus in my mind.
