Robert, I still can’t believe you’re gone. You were one of the most empathetic and beautiful souls I’ve ever met. You served your country and dedicated your life to trying to make this world a better place. I can’t stop thinking about this quote from Hamilton the musical. I don’t even know if you saw it. “You could’ve done so much more if you only had time.” You did so much with your time here advocating for marginalized people and fighting against oppression. My heart breaks thinking about all the things you could’ve done. Thank you for confiding in me and sharing your story. You overcame so much, and you will continue to inspire me for the rest of my life. I’m glad you’re not in pain anymore, my friend. I just wish you were here. I know you’re out there, though, soaring amongst the stars.

I’m never going to get used to seeing you on our ofrenda, Grandma Vira. We are all so lost without you. I’m trying to do things that would make you proud. You told me that I should help people with their mental health, and I am on my way. I know you are watching over me and will be with me when I graduate in May. I know you would have been the one cheering and clapping the loudest. So much of the good in me is you. Rest peacefully, Gma. I’m so sorry. I love you, and I will carry you in my heart, always.

Mom, your passing came as a shock to everyone, but I am comforted to know that you are no longer in pain. You are missed by all of us but I'm happy to know that you are up in Heaven with grandma, grandpa, uncle Tony, and your younger brother Cruz.

It's been years but as I've grown I've thought about all the events that have happened and wish you two were still here.

Feliz Dia de Los Muertos abuelos.

I cannot believe my only brother passed away. Every day i think about him, I often wonder how things would be if he was here. My mothers heart would be whole and not broken, my families pain would be away, his daughters would be happy, and our world would just be better with him in it. I love you Robert, I wish I wasn't writing this, but I know God had better plans for you. Plans for you to be with him in heaven. Un dia de la vez. until we meet again. - Your baby sister, Kat

The last picture that I have of you grandma & grandpa was when I was 9. Even though you've been gone fore 15 years, I miss you and the wisdom you provided us.
I dedicated my PhD to you because you were the first person who told me never to change as I was perfect the way I am. You were first example of a woman living life on her terms I had. I hope you are proud of the woman I am today

Yo como te recuerdo
En mis locos desvelos, le pido a Dios que vuelvas
Si vieras
Yo como te recuerdo, será porque aun te quiero
Espero que tú
Te escuches esta canción
Donde quiera que te encuentres, espero que tú
Al escucharla te acuerdes de mí, como me acuerdo de ti 🎶🎶🖤

Dearest Papa,

I think about you and remember our story time, coffee time, movie watching time and gas pump training. I know you are waiting patiently for more family probably eating cookies and building something. You are missed. But we will see each other again 😉

As a child I never knew my biological grandfather, and "Grandpa" was the only one I've ever known. If I had to think of a word to describe him it would be patient, and it took a level of angelic patience dealing with my eccentric family, especially my paternal Grandmother. For that endearing quality, I know God has blessed him greatly. I love him and I miss his presence immensely.

Mis amados abuelitos:
Los extrañamos demasiado. Debido a lo cerquita que estaba con mi abuela, tengo unas palabras. Abuelita querida gracias por cuidarme en tiempos dificiles, por darme ese amor incondicional, por ser tu nieta consentida (que mi hermana y mis primos no sepan, 🤣), y por apoyarme siempre. Desde el dia de tu fallecimiento, todavia se me hace difícil de reconocer que ya no estas aqui en la tierra. Sin  embargo, yo se que ya no estas sufriendo de esa enfermedad silenciosa. A mi abuelito (mi viejito gruñon): aunque renegabas mucho, yo se lo cuanto que nos querias; siempre fuiste una persona buena y servicial. Tambien se extrañan tus dichos.

Los amamos muchisimo ❤️
