The Last Padilla Standing is a look back in time, my journey through the years as told by me. Through memories and story's passed down through generations. The good times and the bad, But my family always seemed to prevail. This story will live on through my pages for future relatives. I am the last Male Padilla in my family tree, and this is how I remember it.

My name is Joseph N Padilla better known as Joe to my friends, I was born in 1932 in a coal mining town called Madrid in Central New Mexico between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. My wife and I were happily married for 52 years we raised three children 2 daughters and one son. My wife Alta passed away in 2005 followed by son who passed away in 2019. I'm retired and have several hobbies I like to paint I'm a musician and of course a writer. At my 89 years old I'm still going strong.
