If you could bring back one person that has passed away and spend one day with, who would it be? I wouldn’t hesitate to answer “my grandfather.”

There aren’t enough words to describe how much I love you and how much I miss you. Life hasn’t been the same since you left us. You were taken too soon, but any time would have been too soon. I still needed you, and will always need you. There’s no place in my heart that doesn’t have you in it.

Your spirit exuded pure kindness and sincerity. No one had a bad thing to say about you. You were just a wonderful person whom everyone loved. You were a great father, grandfather, brother, cousin, husband, and friend.You were my best friend, as much as you were my grandfather. I told you everything and you never judged me. You simply gave me advice and supported me in any decision.

You started so many traditions with our family, and we know we will always continue them. We think about you always, and when we’re together for those traditions, we shine a light on you.

Thinking back at our time together, there was never a dull moment. We were always laughing, smiling, and just having the best of time.

Since you left, I have seen our family struggle with a lot of issues. We have always found a solution because we always have you in mind. We always say “what would grandpa do?” and it would always work out. You are what keeps us going, and motivates us to live life and love it.

Your funeral was the hardest thing I have ever gone through. Everyone was shocked and extremely saddened by your loss. You were the light of my life and on that day, my life got a little darker.

My only wish is that you are extremely happy enjoying an ice-cold beer up above right now. You deserve eternal peace and happiness. You deserve it because you lived with others in mind. You did everything for everyone without hesitation.You were as pure hearted as they come, grandpa.

I always ask God “Why you? Why did he take you away from me?,” but then I smile and think he needed the funniest, kindest, and strongest man. I walk around with extreme comfort knowing I have you looking down on me and smiling along with me.

I miss you. We all miss you. Always know, you are loved and remembered from down below, grandpa.


Until I see you again,

Love,

me

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
