It has been one year now since you soared into heaven. I felt your arms around me on my birthday and you whispered in my ear...esos pinche cabrones, tene cuidado... so I know it was you. Thanks Dad. I love you always. I will be careful. See you in the future one of these days. <3

Dad, You are forever in my heart, soul and mind. My tears will dry as the days pass me by, but your memory will not fade. The sound of your voice carried in the wind allows me to hear your voice calling out my name..., I answer aqui estoy, papi, aqui estoy. May the universe receive your soul into the house of God.

Love Forever,
Teresa
