To my Daddy I thank my Lord for giving me the opportunity to guide you into his arms. I am not going to say that it was easy for me these last 13 months, but I would do it all over again. I love you papi and I always will. I know you were not perfect; no one is, but with the love of our Savior we make it through. I have no regrets of having you as my father. I thank you for saying yes to Jesus and taking your last breath in my arms and letting me know that you are not dead but you are asleep and that one day we will be reunited again. Your daughter, Maria Elena
