Yesterday, the 22nd of November 2010, was just a normal day like any other day until I've gotten the news that's been hidden from me all day; that world has gone cold and one of the greatest men was taken from it.
I wasn't related by blood, yet, we had a very strong, unexplainable bond. A bond that is between of father and son. Despite his relationship with his estranged daughter, He acted as a dad to me whenever I was in trouble or needed help or even love advice. He was my dad and also my uncle because according to him "No one loved my dad as much as he did and they were closer than brothers."
I would never forget all the times he made me feel awesome about myself. There wasn't one telephone call that he wouldn't make one of his amazing comments. Even the last time I ran into him on the street his comment was "I didn't realize it was you. I was wondering who was that handsome young man in the car."
I can't get over how charismatic he was. Even at the darkest times, when he was fighting for his life, He was a very pleasant company that made you feel nothing but greatness about yourself. Even the nurses couldn't help but be around him because the way he made everyone him feel.
Today, I can safely say that I lost a Father, an uncle, a mentor and above all a friend. I want to thank you for every good thing you've told me, every advice you've given me, every smile you've put on my face and the times you got me out of trouble or gotten back at someone for bothering me.
I am nothing but sad for my loss, but, I know you're in a better place. I wish you may rest in peace and find your way safely into the heavens.
Come tomorrow, I will be standing at your funeral like the son I am to you.
Your Son.
