It was a sad time, and in a way, is was also like dead and rebirth for me. After your departure, my old life came to an abrupt end, my family, job, and plans for the future were all destroyed. But I also had to learn how to live again making old mistakes all over again until I got stronger and better focused than before. All while I held on to your memory.
Son, you would be proud to know all what our family has accomplished in this 15 years: you have a step mom that not only shares my memory of you, she loves you and respects you as much as I do. And you also have a little brother, so beautiful and so smart that he would make you feel delighted all the time.
Happy fifteen birthday, Pablo. Your memory will stay alive for as long as we live, maybe longer.
Dad.
