Luis O. Rivera Sr.

I cant believe it has been four long years. I still think of you from time to time Luis. Rest in peace.

I remember when I first met you 16 years ago. You said I was the ugliest thing you had ever seen! =) From that day forward I realized that YOU were the smiling eyes that lit the face of this family. You expressed your love through laughter. You made everybody realize things are never that bad. You gave people a reason to smile again, even if for a moment. I cried when I first learned of your passing. Not only because I knew instantly how much I'd miss you, but more because of how much more...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

March 19, the beginning of spring and a week before Easter. The weather is so beautiful today. Very sunny! To my family I would like to say that I love you all truely and thank GOD for just having such a wonderful family. We all have been very strong for one another. I myself can honestly say that its been hard for me, but I know that dad wouldnt want we to be crying or feeling the way I do at times, but I can't help the way my heart feels. For those of you who read my dads guest book please...
