I have been praying for your beautiful soul for thirteen years Carlos. I know that you are in paradise. I will always remember you as the lil kid that rod his go cart on the street sidewalk, the kid that carried me on his bike pegs, the kid that would ride a bus with me from Pomona to LA, our outings to the mall and to the callejones, your pit-bulls, you mad when I would step on your new shoes, playing buggy with you, pretending to be WWF wrestlers, setting up la yarda in the front of the house, you and Andree eating habaneros, you shocking us with the batteries while we held hands, the Shakira Laundry Service CD you gave me for my birthday, our trips back and forth to LA en la van de mi dad, playing 64 with Danny, mexico with las titas. The best memories of my childhood are with you. Your life was not taken in vein. Losing you turned me towards god and the pain your death caused, I would not wish upon my worst enemy. Losing you made me realize that I had to turn my life to god for guidance. I refuse to fill my heart with hate and resentment because I know that will not bring you back. I will do things right and walk by the hand of god because the devil is always trying to win souls. He will never win mine or my children’s. My children will have a beautiful life thanks to you. Love you always, Carla.
