I wis you could be here with Alejandro, Paul and myself. I feel like I was cheated of your presence. I wish every day that we could just go back to May 11th and just change everything that happened. Then maybe Alejandro would know his grandpa. Please watch over us. We are in much need of a great Angel. I love...

Happy belated Birthday Dad! Sorry I didn't write on here yesterday but it was a bad day for me. I missed you terrible and wished I could just hear your voice over the phone.

He is a young man who isn't sure why you are gone and I know its going to take time but it hurts me to see him in pain. As for Arianna she asked me why her Grandpa was in heaven and I...

Hey I am feeling all kinds of emotions as your 51st birthday is upon us. Its so cute Arianna has been going up to your picture I have in the living room and telling Valentino that our Grandpa. It breaks my heart that she will probably not remember you as she gets older and Alejandro and Josephs baby will never get to meet you, that is until we are reunited in heaven. Dad I Miss you and Love you so much. Not to worry you will never be forgotten.
