A Daily Photo Essay of My Journey

Angel (pronounced An-hel) is one of the vigilantes in my apartment building. He and his wife had their second child in February and the other day he brought the newbie up for me to see. As he held Angela, I asked where his wife was. He told me she was downstairs then asked if I would like to hold the baby. The second I took her, he took off.  I was left holding a two month old in my livingroom praying that she would not start crying. Of course she did start crying so I did my best to remain calm. In what seemed like 60 minutes, but was likely only 5 minutes, he was back with his wife and other daughter so I took a few photos. Angel works 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, and has an hour commute each way. He is currently on his first vacation in over a year and I am happy he gets to spend time with his family.
