Dear Family


I've been trying to come up with something to say to my family for the past few hours, erasing and rewriting over and over. I've always seemed to have the right words for everything, yet today it was different. Watching everyone remember and mourn and all the love that i've been surrounded by today even by the people that don't know what's happening i realize that the most important thing is to stop everything we're doing and love. We never realize how much someone matters to us until its too late, and today i feel closer to my family, during this hard time, to let you all know what i never got to tell Santi, Leo or My mom, I love you. To let this open our eyes, as a family and as people, to be careful with our lives, i've gone through this too many times in my life to have to have to keep doing it over, life is precious. Rest in paradise Santi. I love you.
