Almost 6 years ago I met an amazing man...
A man called Efrain more known as Don Efra.
This man loved to make everyone laugh. He loved to dance. He loved to tell jokes and he loved sweets.
My first time meeting him is lost in my memories but I remember thinking of him as a serious man. To my surprise he was nothing like that....
He was your great-grandfather.
A man that I loved and still love very very much.
A man that just the simple thought of him makes me laugh and cry the same time.
A man that showed me how to dance... A dance that almost left both us in the floor but a dance that is now the subject of many belly laughs
A man that man that one day took my by the hand and asked me to call him grandpa.This is and forever will be my most beautiful memory of him....
Your daddy and I had just gotten married and he sat next to me, grabbed my hand and said " so sweety what are you going to call me?" me being the shy person that I was back then (nowhere to be found now) turned red faster than I could describe and he caress my hand and told me the following, something that stayed in my heart and will always will. He told me "you have to call me grandpa" that made my day. It made my month....
From that day one my love for him grew more and more. Its very hard to describe but the way he was made it so easy to love him..
He always had great stories to tell.... and lets not talk about the jokes... He spent the whole time making us laugh. I dont remember a time where we sat at the table and we didnt laugh.
He love your daddy very, very much.....
But today, today January 14, 2014 he has gone to a better place..
It bring tears to my eyes as he was such , such a great man and my heart desired so much for you to have met him. I know he would have been an amazing great grandfather.
I promise to tell you all about him.. To tell you how much we love him and how much he desired to meet you. How frenquetly he asked about you and how many times he expressed his love for you.
Baby E today he has left this earth but not our heart and you will hear us talking about him so much as he was and still is a great grandpa to you papa and myself, a great dad to you abuelo and abuela and a great husband to your great grandmother.....
