NOTES: Okay this is a short piece inspired by a talk I had with Sarahcallaberos a while back about Donald's family and what happened to them. I actually wrote this a little while back but completely forgot about it. I found it fixed it up a bit and I hope you guys like it.

"Hey. Sorry it's been so long since I've been by, but I'm here now. First I have to say I'm sorry I didn't bring the boys by this time. I know you would love to see them. They are spending the summer with Uncle Scrooge. Sometimes I think that Scrooge needs them as much as they need him. They are going up really fast those boys and they are starting to develop their own personalities although I swear they are still as thick a thieves those three. It took a while but I think I finally feel like we are all a family, I feel like I'm really starting to reach all three of them…well kind of. I think even Scrooge is starting to lighten up, at least as much as he can.

"In other news, it's summer again and you know what that means? Yep, Jose and Panchito have made their migration up to Duckburg. Why they like to come up here I will never know. Most people would think staying in Mexico or Rio would be more fun, but then again I guess those two get the whole tropical vacation thing all year round so maybe being up here is like going to a theme park. My life is certainly more exciting with them around, although I don't know if exciting is the right word for it.

"I know I've said this before but I know that you would really like Panchito and Joe. They are both lunatics but they are really nice lunatics. Sometimes they really know how to get my dander up; I mean there is no one who knows how to work on my last nerve except for maybe the boys. But as many times as they drive me up a wall, and don't tell them this please, Panch and Joe are my best friends. Actually they are more than that they are like my brothers, and even more than that. We're like soul mates. I know that they've got my back and I laugh a lot more when they are around. I guess you could say that I like having them around, for all the pain they cause me. I guess you could say I need them and I hate to confess it but I think my life is hardly a life without them.  I love them…"

"Donal'!"

"Yo amigo!"

Donald turned and he could see José and Panchito waving to him from down the path. "Well there are the guys," Donald said. He reached out a hand and traced the letters on the grave stone, smiling sadly. "I miss you Della. I promise I'll be back soon."

…

José smiled as Donald joined them. "Everything okay Donal'?"

"Yeah," Donald said, giving a little smile back, "everything is good." There was a little bit of sadness but in truth he felt better now that he had come to visit.

Panchito grinned, patting Donald firmly on the back. "I am happy for you amigo," Panchito said, "Now let us get going. We've got a whole day to play."

Donald nodded but as they started to walk away he hesitated, looking back into the grave yard.

"Donal'?"

"You coming amigo?"

"Yeah, I'm comin'," Donald said as he moved quickly to catch up with his fellow Caballeros.
