In Loving Memory

April 7, Saturday morning my little cousin Roman passed away. It was the day before his 20th birthday. He had muscular dystrophy. Since that morning when I got the phone call, I have just felt different. It's as if a piece of my heart is broken. I know that our family will never be the same. We have never had a death in our big family until now. We all knew it was something that would eventually happen, but I don't think anyone ever could imagine the day it would. It has been hard, especially the rosary and funeral, but at the same time I am glad he is with God and is no longer in pain. I am so thankful that Roman was with us for so long. I watched him grow from a baby to a man. I had gone with the kids to visit him a week before he passed away. Roman loved babies! I remember when Chone was a baby he would always hold her and kiss her. I knew he would want to see the twins, so we stopped by. I'm so glad we went to see him that day and see his smile as he kissed the twins and took pictures with them. Roman will always be a part of our family and never be forgotten. It makes me feel good to know my babies have our angel Roman watching over them. Rest in peace Roman. I love you and you will always be in my heart!
