Mi Amor Carlos...
Hace 3 años, 36 meses, 1,095 días, 26,280 horas, 1,576,800 minutos, 94,608,00 segundos a las 7:38 a.m., miércoles 16 de noviembre del 2016 me di cuenta que el primer beso que nos dimos no fue el más difícil para mi, si no él último, el que te di antes de que tomarás tu último suspiro y fallecieras en mis brazos...
Recordaba la primera vez que te vi, mis ojos se iluminaron sin pensar que un día romperían en llanto.
Nuestro matrimonio fue solo 12 cortos años pero le doy gracias a Dios por haber cruzado nuestros caminos ese día 4 de agosto
Amor, fuiste una historia muy hermosa en mi vida. Siempre me amaste incondicional. Recuerdo cuando me decías que las palabras se las lleva el viento que solo con ver tus ojos podía ver cuanto me amabas y esas miradas aún las guardo en el corazón y se que me amaste más de lo que pensé. Porqué siempre me dejabas saber realmente cuanto me amabas...ya puedo escuchar la canción de Juanes que me cantabas,
Para Tu Amor.
Te me adelantaste Carlitos... y este amor que aún siento por ti me causa mucha tristeza y soledad pero a la vez me siento afortunada que contigo conocí el amor porqué tu me enseñaste lo que era entregarse con todo el corazón y alma.
Después de tres años no he dejado de pensar en ti aunque ya no estemos en la misma morada.
Ahora, todas las noches al acostarme le doy un beso a una foto que tome cuando dormías y por las mañanas al despertar hago lo mismo. Te vez hermoso...
todos los días desde tu partida siento un dolor inmenso en el alma y sin ninguna piedad se clava profundamente.
El tiempo jamás podrá borrar lo que sentí, siento, y sentiré por ti mi Amor. Te amé, te amo, te amare como a nadie en mi vida.
Y seguirá el luto en mi corazón, alma, y memoria.
El duelo es lo que queda por haber amado... hay algunas veces que duele más fingir estar bien.

Tu esposa, Linda Colón ❣

Oh my love... how do I miss you.
The silence is deafening without you. Only through the grace of God have I been able to make it thus far.
The selfish part of me wants you here with me and Zoey only if you could be here without pain. You know that I would have given my life for you in a New York minute...
Te quiero
Te amo
Te adoro

Mi Amor, hoy sé cumplen 3 meses desde tu fallecimiento
Y te extraño tanto como si fuera el primer día ❣❣
Aún tengo mucho dolor inmenso en mi corazón porque no te puedo ver físicamente.
Sé que estás en un mejor lugar y que un día te veré. Pero aún duele tanto que no hay palabras para describir lo que se siente. Te quiero, te amo, y te adoro. Hasta pronto.

The death of a family member is painful, but the hope of eternal life through Christ - free from sickness and pain gives us comfort and renewed hope. When by God's grace "we all get to Heaven," we will join you, Carlos, in singing and in shouting the victory. Til then, rejoice in His Presence.

Lamento mucho que haya fallecido su familiar, pero la biblia en hecho 24:15 nos da una esperanza de resurrección donde Dios promete devolver a quienes han muerto.

Carlos, you were a great husband, a great father, a great role model, and a great friend. I will miss you and all of our conversations that lasted until the late hours of the night. You were always there for me when I needed a friend. No matter if I needed advice or someone just to listen, you were there. We will all miss you very much.
