Hola Papi
Thinking of you always reminds me of your silly grin and I can hear your laughter and you calling my name.
So much has happened. I know you all of it. My heart was so broken and it was unbearable. You know I spoke to you and had support from loui, the boys and friends.
You know what I am conflicted about.
But mami I know has told you what she thinks.
I am better now getting stronger again, and I always try to follow what you said, not to get aguitada.
I love ❤️ you Papi besos para Raul, Eva, and Mami
Feliz birthday

Hola Papi
I have not been visiting this site but you’re always in my heart ❤️ and daily life I sure miss you and our talks your guidance you love.
Mami must be smiling now that she is with you.
She told us you never know what you have until they are gone. That was about missing you. I never would have though she knew that saying.
Eva is getting ready to come see you and be with her familia .
I love you and miss you besos para todos también todos los perritos

My precious Papi,
You have your linda esposa by your side now.
I am somewhat at peace because I know she is with you and not alone. It has been very hard, even though I knew and it was going to happen and I prayed God would take her to be in peace. You are both gone from us we are alone here and there is an empty void. you have mami with you for your birthday .
I also feel a sense of happiness that she is not suffering. I will take your advice and not be aquitada I am going to be happy as life throws its events at me. And work on being flaca
Love you PAPI besos for Raul

Hola Papi,
Happy Birthday Papi,
I miss you very much for many reasons. But right now
a lot. My dearest Pap,i boy did you spoil Mami. She is not an easy bird. You were quite a man for taking care of her for so many years. You were so easy to take care of, but your wife not so much. I remember always your advice "Let there be one crazy and not two". Good advice . You Know about Pete, it breaks our hearts. I know you always want us to be strong but it is hard at times. I miss your smile and your laughter. Please give our love to Raul.

Hola Papi
today is 5 years since I saw your beatiful face and boy do I miss that round face!!
I was watching the movie Coco and the music was great. I remember you used to like that song La Llorona..it made me smile.
my Superpapi I love you and misses you with all my heart.

Hola Papi,
It has been so long, you have been on my mind so much, I know you know why. Things have changed for me so much and I know you would be here to support me. I listen to your advice when I have a problem. Your words are with me, and they help me daily. Mami is good, but getting a little older however she is spunky as ever. LOVE YOU and Miss you always PAPI

Mi Papi
Where are we going to have lunch for your birthday Papi? I miss you, I will until I am with you. In my quiet moments at home your presence is alive. Forever you will be so clear in my mind. Cha cha and your voice bring smile to me.
LOVE YOU PAPI

Papi Happy Birthday!!!!
words can't describe how much I miss you and your wisdom.but today is about you I hope you are celebrating with your loved ones that surround you.I'm sure you have made tons of friends too.
I love you my Papi.

Heaven can wait!!
One of my favorite sayings!

I miss your perro chato face Papi!
Remember I used to tease you with that nickname.
At this moments we are having setbacks I'm sure you know all about it...just want to tell you that John is back on this coast with the boats and that is really something to be happy about.
John has a lot of pressure but still strong after all the setbacks.
Mami is also staying strong on the outside only you know how she is really doing. .I know she misses you terribly.
We all do Papi.
Say hi to my brother Raul tell him my heart has holes because he took a chunk with him when he left me to fen for myself .
And you took another when you left me too.i love you both

Happy Birthday Papi it was sad not having you here, you were in our hearts every minute of the day.

A day does not go by that I do not think about you. I wish you were here but i know you had to go. Mami is doing well she is visiting brother. My beautiful silly Papi.

It struck me as Mami was telling me stories of your past and your life. It struck me that there are so many things I didn't know about you. As she is telling me I realized that it didn't really matter to me. I found it all quite interesting and I love to hear stories about you. They stay in my heart and I embrace them. 
 I realized the most beautiful feeling that I had a Papi that loved me and my brothers and sisters. You Papi cooked, told us stories, took care of us when we were sick, took the time to talk to us when we had problems, you were there all the time.
 What you did in life did not matter to me, rich, poor, famous, unknown, no it did not matter.
 What matter to me is that you were there so I could be loved by you and I love you. So I could be in joy with you doing the simple things in life.Sitting drink tea or making caldo together.
 That is what mattered to me, and yes those memories have carried on to Christopher and Branden as well.
It struck me that all I cared about was spending time with you.
                 MIss you Papi and love you

My beautiful beautiful Papi you are with me every single day. I know you are with Raul and that makes me happy. Every day I think of that twinkle in your eyes and that cute little smile you have. Mami misses you so much, we sit for hours talking and I think you should be here listening to her. I know how much she misses you. You knew each other for 80 years. I played the song for her you told me to.
Te amo mucho Papi

Papi I miss you and love you from here to heaven where I know you are looking out for us.

Papi thinking that it will be a year of your departure. Oct just around the corner.
how time goes by it feels like only weeks since I last saw your face!.
