Tribute for Papa

From Juana: 12/1/16

When I picked up my pen, I could not think of anything to write. My heart is troubled. All I could think of was you, my beloved.... Why did it happen this way, is this God’s own deed, I just could not bear to accept this... I remember the evening of the 20th, how we spent time together with our sons watching TV together, and you talked much and we were all relaxed with ease of mind... The next morning on the 21st , around seven o’clock, we had breakfast and coffee together. What was not expected was that later around ten you felt something wrong with your body, had trouble breathing, there were phlegm and your heart beat became weak... We then called the doctor, and he came to our house...There was nothing he could do, you were gone little by little, you lost conscious and your heart was in trouble, and then at 4:40 you went to heaven.

My dearest, we had been married for sixty two years, didn’t you say we were going to celebrate our seventieth anniversary? How is it so that you won’t wait for another few years?

My beloved, I know you had been a wonderful husband, great father, and you loved God, I know God will make arrangements for us... Rest your heart!
