I Forgot

I was talking to Mami yesterday. I asked her about you. I forgot. It's been 1 year and 6 months since you died. I am surprised by the sorrow I've felt this week. I'm not sure if it was my empathizing with this week's horrible tragedy of two local police officers being shot or just on of those waves that suddenly hit and leave me breathless.

I am blessed though to have had 41 years with you in my life. The children of one of these officers are looking at most of their lives without an earthly father. fortunately, they had a father who lived his faith out loud and he leaves them with a strong legacy of faith.

I love you Papi. I miss you.
