My dearest albert, only I know how much I miss you and will always miss you. I remind myself that no one was able to take you from me but god. One day we will meet again. Until then. I will always have these great memories of the time we spent together and how much you made me laugh. The best time we spent together was when I was in my twenties. Now I enjoy your sister Antonia Garcia who is just as fun as you were. I love you so much. Your loving cousin, Josie m sepulveda.
