On this day in 2005... my only grandfather that I actually had the privilege to meet (Abuelito Layo) passed away at the age of 88. (Tears are producing in my eyes, so I will keep this short and sweet.)
Not a day passes by that I do not remember my grandpa, his smile, and his tilted hat (pictured above). My grandpa would literally wear his hat tilted all day, everyday. I also remember how he would kiss my forehead every time I kissed his hand (said "Bendicion"). Through all the smiles, there were also sad times. My grandpa battled the last stage of Alzheimer's disease. It was hard for both him and the rest of our family seeing him suffer. I sincerely believe that he is in a better place now.
Te quiero mucho, Abuelito Layo! Espero que estoy haciendo usted muy orgulloso!
