I want to share something my brother Javier shared on FB<br />

regarding my father. I thought it was beautiful.<br />

“For many <strong>2016</strong> will be remembered as the year many<br />

celebrities died. For me it's much different. <strong>2016</strong> for me<br />

will be remembered as the year I lost one of the most<br />

important people in my life. He wasn't a celebrity he wasn't<br />

an athlete he wasn't a TV star. But for me he was my hero<br />

and the one who made me what I am today. He saved my<br />

life when I broke my head as a child. He made sure I went<br />

to School and got my diploma. He made sure I didn't just<br />

sit on my rear end and made sure I worked for what I<br />

wanted to achieve in life. Him along with my mother took<br />

care of me when I had second degree burns in my back neck<br />

and body in 2001. He was the one who made sure I got<br />

home safely when I had my lasik surgery. When at times I<br />

was down on my luck he took care of me and made sure I<br />

never went hungry. Because of him I never became an<br />

abuser of drugs and alcohol despite the neighborhood we<br />

lived in as kids. Thank you for everything u did for me Dad.<br />

I will do everything I can to make you proud and continue<br />

the legacy you left me and the rest of us in the family.<br />

Merry Christmas and happy new year in heaven. I love u and<br />

will remember u always and forever.”<br />
