It still hasn't hit me that you are gone. It feels like its a bad dream, I wish I can just wake up go to my moms and you will be there eating an orange at the kitchen table. These last 2 months with you were the best 2 months of my life. I am glad that you were getting close to my mom,her kids and your great grand kids. I am glad you really enjoyed living in our environment and getting to see new things. I can remember when i was younger going to the big house and you and Lou will be outside with the goats and i was so scared to outside cause i thought they would get me. Lol you made sure that they wouldn't because they were dead. I loved that almost every weekend my mom would take us to the Flea market to go visit you and sometimes help you. As I am writing this and thinking about all the memories with you it brings a smile to my face. I miss going to my moms and telling you hi everyday! I was getting use to going with mom to pick you up from dialysis every week. I miss hearing your laugh,i will never forget your laugh. I miss hearing your burp, it was one of a kind. I miss hearing you and my mom talking in spanish and me trying to understand yalls conversation. I miss you talking to my sister,brother && I about when you were younger or about you and Ama. It kills me that you had plans to do things before you went to heaven with God and Ama and you didnt get to do any of these things. You wanted to buy a big boat and take all of us fishing and set out lines, we wanted to take you shopping and buy you new clothes, you wanted to buy a car for yourself. I want to thank you for raising a beautiful,smart,strong daughter who is now my mom. If it wasnt for you none of us would be here in texas living the life we have. If it wasnt for you my mom, Lou && I wouldnt have these gorgeous eyes that we got from you. When people ask me who i got the hazel eyes from i will be proud to say from my Grandpa APA! I am glad you got to meet your great grand kids, take them for walks, see them play football/Cheerleading,running around the house yelling and having fun, they enjoyed seeing you everyday. Im glad you got to spend Madisons 2nd birthday with us and enjoy cupcakes before bed. They still ask for you and we tell them you are in a special place, in heaven with God and Ama. It kills me when madison ask for you. I will make sure she will never forget you. I hate that you had to leave us so soon. I wish you were still here with us. I will always love you and i will never forget about you APA!! 10/10/10-RIP APA?--- Buchanan Family?

Gracie:
I remember back in high school when your dad had the store and we would all go and buy tacos for lunch. Your dad is now in a better place without any pain or sorrow.
God Bless You!
