PARENTING AS PADTRASTRO

In 2013, my life changed drastically. I ended a long-term marriage, moved from Houston to San Antonio, and soon fell in love with the woman who would become my partner and her two children.

In 2014 we began the process of co-habitation and as an only child growing up, plus having no experience in the last 20 years with children, it was an adjustment.

As a poet and writer, I chose to share my thoughts with the children visually. These are some of our favorite "missives" posted here.

*Padtrastro=Spanish for stepfather (both children are enrolled in dual language instruction here in San Antonio)

TESTIMONIALS

I have Mark’s fortune cookie photo framed and hanging in my cube. When people ask about it or admire it, I’ll say something about that and how, for as long as I’ve known him, Mark has been driven to create. I think he expresses himself in so many mediums because the ideas he has can’t be confined to one.
