Celebrating our 2nd Father’s Day without you…. Having a picnic of one of your favorites sandwiches. The kids take after their daddy having ham sandwiches. We miss you like crazy…(June 2025)
We picnic when visiting Daddy to help make our visit enjoyable for all. Once everyone is fueled they run around playing.
This is the text that melted my heart…
We all miss you so much. And, it tugs on my heart strings when I get a call from my kid saying she’s felt a strong need to go visit Uncle Gonzo between school and work. I knew how important it was for her to go and sit with him. Nothing compares to having him around and as deeply as I feel this emptiness and loss, my children feel it just as deeply. The connection he had with them was so powerful and so beautiful and I am forever thankful that they keep his memory alive with them as they navigate the world. They were such buddies, and it’s a gaping void that will not and can not ever be replaced. We love and miss you every day. Keep watching over us, Gonz. We love you.
