Hello dad
I'm sorry I didn't come here for your birthday. I hope you had a happy birthday in heaven with mom. I'm sure you both are happy to be together again. As for me it's been a struggle. Your gone mom is gone Helene is gone. My friend Dorothy is gone. I recently lost Star my pet Guinea pig who was one of the first Christmas gifts I ever have to Helene. They're days I'll admit that sometimes I wish I was gone. I have no real friends and barely anyone comes to visit me at my apartment. They're days were I wish I could join you and mom but I'm too much of a coward to harm myself so sometimes I ask God to end it for me already. Many have no idea how alone I feel. I look forward to going to work these days than I do when I get home. I'm sorry I'm using this visit to moan about my issues but I feel this is the only way to talk to you. I wish you where here. Again I hope you and mom are happy together in heaven. I hope in my next visit I can be more positive. Love you and miss you dad.

June 26, 2023

Hello dad. Sorry I haven't been around. Been too busy drowning in my sorrows these last few months. I hope you had a happy Father's Day in heaven with mom. I'm sure you where happy to have her by your side. I wish you and mom where here right now. Things are not the same. Helene went to England and I don't know if she'll ever be back or not. I'm struggling financially to keep this apartment. Nobody visits me no matter how many people and how many times I've asked. I feel very alone. They're days where sometimes I just don't want to live anymore. I really feel helpless dad. I wish you and mom where here. Love you and miss you.

Hello dad. It's been a long time. I'm so sorry missed Father's Day as I was planning to see you but then Helene got I'll and had to go to the Hospital.. a lot has happened the last time we spoke. Going through a lot right now. I'm fighting to keep my apartment as the owners of the apartment has accused me of not paying rent even though I was. They using a loophole that section 8 started the lease on January so therefore I owe money even though I didn't move in until March. I'm not happy where I work and have been feeling this way about work for a long time now. I been having some health issues. I been going through bad bouts of depression. I haven't kept my word in making sure mom is ok as I been overwhelmed. I'm so sorry dad.For letting you down on that. Sometimes I feel that people myself included have been forgetting about you. As we come.near another anniversary since you been gone it still hasn't been easy. The family hasn't been the same since you been gone and it make me sad. I wish you where here. But I know you're happy with God in heaven. But I still miss you very much. I'll do my best to come visit you soon. I love you and miss you very much.

Hi dad: Another Christmas came and left. This year has been a little more sad. Maybe it's because of this pandemic that's lasted too long already. But this Christmas we couldn't even be all together the same as Thanksgiving. Which made it more . profound that you are gone. Having you and Luis gone has been very hard on me I I miss you both very much. Christmas is just not the same without you pop. I listen to some of your music that you loved to hear..Made me very nostalgic I do hope your Christmas was a lot better than ours if they celebrate Christmas in heaven. Please tell Luis I love and miss him very much.. Merry Christmas in heaven pop and a Happy New Year.

His Life

Dad and his love of Christmas

February 28, 2021

December 25th was always a special day for dad. Christmas meant the world to him as many in my family can attest to that. He always made sure that our Christmas was enjoyable and special. On one special Christmas he dressed us all up to visit my sister Ana Torres godfather and it was an enjoyable one that I still remember. I remember as a child how he took us all to Puerto Rico for the Christmas holiday back in 1975. I remember how him members of his family would go from house to house singing Christmas songs while playing their guitars until the person of the house opened the door and from their it was party time. They where called parrandas. I remember also how the pig was roasted plenty of food was served lots of dancing celebrating everyone was having a great time. He also enjoyed New Years as well as three kings day where in Puerto Rican culture that is officially the last day of the holiday season. Every three kings day or a few days after if it was on a weekday there would be another feast. He would prepare the turkey the roast pork and they're where delicious. My nephew Jason Lewis would say he wasn't satisfied until he ate his grandfather's Turkey. Sadly this past holiday season was our first one without him. It definitely didn't feel the same. I feel as if a part of what we did for the holidays died with him. :( . I hope I'm wrong about that. Thank u dad for the wonderful holiday memories u left for us to remember you always. The holidays will never be the same without u :(

The last picture i took of dad :(

October 18, 2016

Labor Day 2016. This picture hits me hard because this is the very last picture I took of him before he passed away barely a month later. :(

Soy Boricua

Dad will always be boricua. He loved Puerto Rico and the family there very much especially his parents.(my grandparents)

How dad saved my life when i was a child.

October 16, 2016

One thing I'll always remember about my father was the time he pretty much saved my life after I split my head open after crashing into the wall while playing in the house. After I realized I was bleeding badly dad without hesitation picked me up and immediately took me to the emergency room. I remember my mother telling me that dad told her that the hole in my head was so deep that he was able to see the inside of my head. When all was said and done I needed 7 stitches to close my wound. I believe in that night he saved my life. I owe my father my life and gratitude for everything he did for me to be the person I am.
