Father's Day

Yesterday was a bitter sweet day.  My sister and her father and also my brother and his family made it a day about Carlos.  They call me to meet them at the gravesite where they brought flowers for him.  I stopped at the bagel shop and brought bagels and drinks.  We stayed there for about 2 hours, talking about Carlos and remembering how loving and caring he was.  My sister that is visiting from Belize was also there and she brought a wreat in a heart shape and it said "Miss You Carlos".  My nieces and nephews were there.  It was such a beautiful day.  My brother made sure that the arrangements were properly secured so that the wind would affect them and he water them properly.  They stop at the house for about an hour.  Later in the day my kids each went to the gravesite on their own time.  I stop by later in the evening and say a card that my daughter had place at the grave with a cup of Starbucks coffe, Carlos's favorite.  I cried when I read her card to her dad.  I know it is hard for them and I wish you could see how much you are being missed Carlos.  My sister commented that your grave was filled with so much flowers because you are special and loved by everyone.  You know Carlos come to think about it you touched everyone's life that you came across.  You completed your mission here on earth and God needed you in heaven.  I just wish you could have stayed a while longer.  I love you and miss you everyday more and more.  Happy Father's Day

I am so glad you had family to help you through this difficult day. Carlos had to have been a very special person, and that was shown by the people who thought of him. Wishing that you find the peace you are looking for - Hugs Rhonda
