Xio con 21 dias de nacida con su padre..
Mi padre con mi hermana Bertica, mi madre, y mi madrina y tia "Nena" cargándome (Josefina, hermana de mi madre)
Hoy he pensado tanto en ti, mi
viejito.....
Esta mañana hice una profunda oración a la memoria de mi padre...Luis Alfredo Sanchez Navarro...un hombre excepcional, amante de todo y de todos...un buen esposo y un excelente padre...lo echo mucho de menos, la mayor parte de mi filosofia de vida, la aprendi con mis padres, pero conversaba mucho con mi padre..nos lleváabamos muy bien.. era mi primer fan en todo lo que yo realizara...
Debe estar muy contento, al vernos a la
familia siempre reunirnos aqui en esta tierra y con la vida tan dificil en
estos momentos de todos..pero la mia con mi hijita enferma....pues a pesar de
todo esto, sigo con mi fe y todas sus enseñanzas..y como él me decia'...
"Hija, la Familia es siempre la famiilia".. y siempre trataba de
perdonar, olvidar, y unirnos a todos en el amor...eso fue lo más lindo que
caracterizó la familia de mi padre por el lado de su padre (mi abuelo paterno
Alfredo Sanchez Pantaleon), los SANCHEZ ....son como hormiguitas, que no
importa lo que haya pasado y sucedido; siempre al final se perdonaba,
terminaban abrazados como si no hubiese pasado nada; se comprendían al final,
porque el Amor a Dios y a nosotros mismos, no importa cómo fuéramos, cómo
creyéramos, cómo hiciéramos..era lo más importante...Gracias, Papi, por todo lo
que me diste y me enseñaste...porque vamos rescatando familiares ya perdidos en
el tiempo, a través de otros, a través de Facebook, o donde sea,...y nos alegra
el corazón re-encontrarnos, y pronto volvermos a reunir un grupo aqui en Miami
de algunos primos recien llegados a USA... Como tu nos enseñaste a darles
nuestro apoyo y nuestro amor, aunque ya yo lleve aqui en este pais casi 46
años, pero nunca olvido de donde vine, la famiila que tuve y tengo...y el amor
a Dios y a los demás...Porque fuisite amigo de tus amigos, y me enseñaste a
serlo con todos.... GRACIAS, Mi Padre........Descansa en paz, mi viejito..Dale
un beso a mi Mima..junto a ti........Nunca te olvido, nunca les olvido..siempre
los necesito...SIEMPRE....Ayúdenme, en todo, yo creo firmemente que el Amor no
termina con la muerte.. les amo más que nunca....Su hijta Mayor, "La
Grande" (para ti, aunque mida 4'9", jajajj)....la "Ada"
para mis primos.....Xiomara, Xiomarita.....y hoy para
todos......"Xio."
IN ENGLISH: To my DAD
So today I thought of you, my old man ..... your eldest daughter , Xio .
This morning I made a deep prayer to the memory of my father ... Luis Alfredo Sanchez Navarro ... an exceptional man , lover of everything and everyone ... a good husband and a great father ... I miss you so much , most of my philosophy of life, I learned with my parents, but my father talked a lot with me we got along just great .. It was my first fan in everything I undertake ... You must be very happy to see us always gathering with the family here on this earth even now that life is so hard.. but specially mine with my sick daughter .... because despite all this, I still have my faith and all your teachings .. and I remember you always said, "Child, the Family is always the family. " .. and you always tried to forgive, forget , and unite us all in love ... that was the nicest thing that characterized the family of my father by the hand of his father ( my paternal grandfather Alfredo Pantaleon Sanchez ) , the SANCHEZ ... . ' like ants , together' t no matter what has happened and happens; always eventually forgave, ended embraced, as if nothing had happened , they understood at the end, because the love to God and among ourselves , no matter how we were , how we believe, how we acted.. was not important, the most important was the love and the family..
... Thanks , Dad , for all you gave me and taught me ... because we're rescuing relatives and lost in time through others, through Facebook, or wherever ... and our hearts are rejoicing in re finding each other , and soon we are gathering a group here in Miami, a few cousins newcomers to USA ... As you taught us to give them, our support and love, even though I have lived here, in this beautiful country nearly 46 years, but never forget where I came from , the famiily I had and have ... and the love to God and others .. . because you knew how to be a friend for your friends , and you taught me how to be friend with everyone.. THANK YOU , my Father ........ Rest in peace, my old man .. Give a kiss to my Mima ..together with you wherever you are...........I never forget you , never forget you both..I always need you two.. ... ALWAYS .... Help me, in all my difficult times , I strongly believe that love does not end with death .. I love you now, more than ever .... Your older daughter " La Grande " ( the big one, even though I am only 4'9" in height..lol. ) .... the " Ada " for my cousins ..... Xiomara , Xiomarita . and now, for all my friends, just ...... " Xio . "
