WHY MY HEART BROKE A LITTLE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

I was getting Joaquin ready for bed but he wouldn't listen...

Me: How will you be a big boy?
Joaquin: Tito J is a big boy
Me: You still remember Tito J?
Joaquin: Yes!
Me: Did you like Tito J?
Joaquin: Yes!
Me: Why?
Joaquin: Because he go faster when the light is green and he go slower when it's red. It means stop.

It was a little game J would play with Joaquin in the car. He would ask my son to look at the stoplight and he would wait for Joaquin's cue to go or stop.

It broke my heart a little that my son has a very distinct and quite cute memory of J.
