Jose “Joe” Escobedo Del Prado, Jr.

Our beloved friend, husband, father, uncle and grandfather Jose “Joe” Escobedo Del Prado, Jr. passed away on October 10, 2021. We saw the signs that day, a cardinal in a tree, a wolf on a mountain – the angels came down to take him home. He was surrounded by his five grateful children and devoted wife, who lovingly cared for him as he battled Parkinson’s in his final years. He was born on July 23, 1935, in Runge, Texas to Leonor and Jose Del Prado. He was preceded in death by his three sisters, Manuela Madrigal, Herminia Tamez, Juanita Salinas and grandchild, Alexandra Del Prado. 10/24/2021 05:00 AM

The Journey Continues

The Journey Continues: Recording your experiences

My journey this week returns to a column I wrote on July 26, 2020, where I introduced the subject of keeping a journal with emphasis on the pandemic. Fast forwarding to today, we are still dealing with the pandemic. I want to suggest again that everyone record their life stories in log or diary format. Journaling is a personal record of occurrences, experiences and reflections kept on a regular basis. If one will record life-force events, before memories fade or are forgotten, through the craft of writing, a record of your values and priorities will be produced. 10/17/2021 05:00 AM
