Mi querido Tio Salvador,
Being in your home brings back memories of the times we shared. As I stand in your kitchen I reminisce on our conversations over home cooked meals. As I glance at your television I think back on us watching classic films together. As I walk by your stereo I am reminded of the melodies you would whistle. While I stare at your photos I hear your voice clear as day. I know you are here with me. I feel your presence. I sense you smiling as you watch your grandchildren play in your home. I sense your pride in seeing me reunite with your family. I miss you Tio and I love you with all of my heart.
Con cariño,
Iván

Thank you Ivan for sharing your feelings and love towards my brother Salvador. I am so glad that you met him and shared with him good memories.
