Saying goodbye

On December 30, we lost one of the sweetest people I have ever known: my grandfather, Juan C. Gomez. We called him Tata. I am in San Antonio right now for the visitation and funeral. I was given the great honor of doing his eulogy, which I promptly googled, since I’ve never given one before.

This picture is from September 1968, back when he was on active duty in the U.S. Air Force.

I tried to prepare for his death, since he has been sick for a while now, but you can never actually be ready. I am quite devastated. Scattered. Can’t seem to focus on anything.

Tata was 86. 1 wife, 3 children, 7 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren. A full and beautiful life.

Thank you to all of my sweet friends who have sent their condolences. I love you guys.
