Su nombre era Ángel, y realmente era una. Querido papá, ¡Feliz cumpleaños. Hoy es su cumpleaños número 70. Me gustaría que estuvieras aquí para que pudiéramos celebrar. Han pasado siete largos años desde que nos dejaste y no pasa un día que no pienso en ti, hablo con tigo y darlte mucho abrazos. Echo de menos tu risa, tus besos, tus sonrisas, tus chistes, haci fue tu personalidad. Que eras un bromista. A veces cojo el teléfono para hablar con tigo.
Este ha sido un puesto difícil para escribir. Yo quería que fuera perfecto - al igual que papá. Mi papá era una persona increíble. Él era divertido, siempre riendo y haciendo reír a los demás queridos. Él era tranquilo y le gustaba pasar un buen rato con nosotros. Mi mamá tenía una familia grande y todos los niños nos criamos juntos. Creo que estandos con antos niños mantenia Papi jóven. Aunque mi padre había estado en el hospital por un tiempo, lo perdimos de forma inesperada. Yo estaba de viaje por la noche y no tenía cobertura de celular. Yo no sabía hasta el día siguiente. Nunca tuve la oportunidad a decir adiós a mi papá.
Papi llegó a los Estados Unidos de Puerto Rico cuando él estaba en sus veinte. Él era un hombre muy trabajador para que él pudiera dar a sus hijas lo que necesitaban. Mi padre tenía muchos amigos. Creciendo, recuerdo que no podíamos ir a ningún lado sin conocer unos amigos y ellos siempre nos decian que era una persona maravillosa. Me sentí mucho orgullo. Yo era la nena de papá. Él me ha enseñado mucho - me encantó estar con mi padre. Estoy tan feliz a tener su personalidad, sentido del humor y de la tontería. Veo mucho de él en mi hija.
Tengo recuerdos increíbles cuando chiquita de mi papá. Muchas risas, tantos abrazos y besos. Gracias Papi por hacernos sentir tan queridos. Siempre me hizo sentir segura. Gracias por ser el mejor papá del mundo. Usted siempre será mi ángel.
Missing You
No hay palabras que escribo cada vez que puedo decir
¿Cuánto te echo de menos cada día.
Conforme pasa el tiempo, la soledad crece;
¿Cómo te echo de menos, nadie lo sabe!
Yo pienso en ti en silencio,
Me hablan a menudo su nombre,
Pero todo lo que tengo son recuerdos
Y las fotos en un marco.
Nadie sabe mi dolor,
Nadie me ve llorar,
Pero el amor que siento por ti
Está en mi corazón para continuar.
Nunca he dejado de amarte
Estoy seguro de que nunca;
Más profundo de mi corazón,
Usted está conmigo todavía.
Penas en este mundo son muchos
Pero la mía es peor que cualquier otro.
Mi corazón todavía duele como me susurro,
"Te necesito y te extraño."
Las cosas que se sienten tan profundamente
Son los más difíciles de decir,
Pero no puedo callar más,
Así que te diré de todos modos.
Hay un lugar en mi corazón
Que nadie más puede llenar;
Te quiero tanto, papá,
Y siempre lo haré.

Happy Birthday Daddy
His name was Angel, and he truly was one. Dear Daddy, Happy Birthday. Today is your 70th birthday. I wish you were here so we could celebrate. It’s been seven long years since you left us and not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, talk to you and miss hugging you. I miss your laugh, your kisses, your smiles, your silly, goofy personality. You were such a prankster. Sometimes I still pick up the phone to call you.
This has been a hard post for me to write. I wanted it to be perfect – just like daddy. My daddy was an amazing person. He was funny, always laughing and loved making others laugh. He was laid back and loved to have a great time with us. My mom had a big family and all us kids grew up together. I guess being surrounded by so many kids kept Papi young. Although my dad had been in the hospital for a while, we lost him unexpectedly. I was away for the night and had no cell coverage. I didn’t know until the next day. I never got to say goodbye to my daddy.
Papi came to the U.S. from Puerto Rico when he was in his twenty’s. He was a hard working man so that he could give his daughters what they needed. My father had so many friends. Growing up, I remember that we couldn’t go anywhere without daddy bumping into at least a few friends and they would always tell us what an amazing person he was. I felt so much pride. I was daddy’s girl. He taught me so much - I loved being with my father. I am so happy that I have his personality, sense of humor and silliness. I see so much of him in my daughter.
I have some amazing memories from my childhood because of my daddy. So much laughter, so many hugs and kisses. Thank you Papi for making us feel so loved. You always made me feel safe. Thank you for being the best daddy in the world. You will always be my Angel.
Missing You
No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,
But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so, Dad,
And I always will.
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!

I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories

But the love I have for you

I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,

And I always will.
