A Big Boo-Boo!

Hello again you lovely Aspiras peeps! I apologize for the lack of updates, but this one, needs to be dealt with and ASAP!

Well, sometimes with genealogy work, information gets confused... (old concept, right?)

Such case happened to my cousin, Juan Torrecarrion Aspiras who is currently in love with a lovely Dittas whom he reconnected with in Facebook.

The mistake was done by myself and the person who gave me the information.

You see, JT was only married and divorced twice and has 5 children. But Dittas was and still is his true love and so it was rather kismet (fate) that they found each other and once again, fell in love. But this one mistake, where I labeled his long former Korean girlfriend, his third wife. A big mistake on my part for not verifying it with JT.

Big because now that JT has Dittas back in his life, he wants her to stay there... JT loves Dittas very much and I am more than happy to correct my "big boo-boo" to help these two lovebirds who should have been together this whole time.

Dittas, JT... I offer my sincerest apology and glad that this mistake can be corrected and erased from our family history. (Though I would love to see Dittas be a part of this blog, as a relative. *wink*)

May you forgive my lack of sleuth savvy for forgetting to get my "facts straight"...

To all the other Aspiras, look me up on Facebook, Carolyn Aspiras Mathews! I'd love to meet you all!
