My Real Identity

My biological paternal grandfather was Luis Pimentel from Valverde Mao. As Junot Diaz would say, "he knew someone up in el palacio." He died when my father was young, and my grandmother later remarried. Luis never legitimized my father; he was a man of mystery.

Miguel Abreu later married my grandmother, Barbara Collado, and he adopted and raised my father, Dario Collado; in death Dario Abreu. I'm eternally grateful to the Abreu family. 

I feel no guilt: Luis Pimentel was a product of fascist times and had his mind -- cyst in temporal lobe which causes ADHD-PI -- warped from a young age.
I'll now let the mystery die and remain Abreu, since Pimentel is pretty Hebrew as well. And hey, at least they rumor that someone close to him influenced Trujillo to found Sosua, a safe haven for Jews during WWII. Since my grandmother can no longer speak, there's no one tell what else he did, and I think it's better that way.
