There are only two sets of two syllables, coupled with specific voices programmed in my Unconscious, that are capable of waking me up from my deepest sleep. One is "Papa," spoken by my younger son Chito. The other is "Grandpa," spoken my granddaughters Angelique and Aubrey. Even when spoken softly they are like alarm tones that I wake up to immediately.

I believe that, long after I have left this lifetime, I will continue to respond to those syllables.
