10 years and I still get emotional when I think about the last time I talked to you even though you didn't have much energy to talk. I miss you in the physical but I know you around in spirit.

Another year without you in our lives buddy. You became famous with Selena and Los Dinos, but you were already well-known for being an incredibly decent and caring human being since we were kids. God be with you.
