We love you, Grandpa!!! We miss you!! So many memories… now you’re reunited with Grandma and Tia Jennie, Tio Augie, Ruben and my little brother… Adam!! Give them an extra tight hug for me!!! ❤️💔
When Agustin and Benita left Riverbank to move to Weslaco in 2005 - which was a major decision - I helped them pack a U-Haul truck with the posessions they were taking from their house.
Dad and I worked hard all day! Eventually, I was exhausted and decided "enough's enough" and went into the (now empty) kitchen and literally collapsed on the floor, sweaty and tired. Dad came in and also sat on the floor with me.
The thing is, Dad was eighty(!) - I was a mere kid in comparison.
Sofia then leant down and kindly whispered in my ear, "Thank you for stopping. Dad was deliberately keeping pace with you and wouldn't have stopped unless you did!"
