Ana Reis-villarreal:  

re for another year or so and has 2-year-old triplets. Sam still lives in Santa Rosa has 6 kids went to law school and has his own retrofitting company. Carlos my baby brother lives in Tulare near my parent and has a girl and a boy and is back in school to become a teacher. My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary are in good health and doing well. I feel pretty blessed to have the life I have had not that it has always been easy, but I feel the experience we live through the good, the bad, the ugly and the incredible mold us and shape us in to who we are today, and as I look back at that the road I have traveled and the choices I have made I can honestly say that I have learned many things some being that regrets should be saved for the things that you do not do instead of the things you do, that forgiveness and most important self forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself, that we are not guaranteed tomorrow so live for today, that the path of least resistance is not always the easiest or safest one to travel and as we go through this journey called life it the people whose lives we touch and those that touch us that make life worth living and if we can honestly say that we touched someones or some creatures life in a positive way everyday that we have made a difference and our life has meaning. Today I feel comfortable in my own skin and like the person I have become and I could not ask for more. I think about many of you often and hope that life has treated you well.
