Jose Isabel Castro 1942 ~ 2009

His services went well, practically all the family was there, on both sides. I can't get over the fact that Marcos and I both lost our fathers in less than a year. I remember talking to my dad about my suegro and how unfortunate his loss has been. Now that I look back it's kind of earie that his time was coming up and there he was consoling me and Marcos. It just doesn't seem real to me. Many years ago Marcos had a conversation with my dad, where my dad was questioning if anyone would bother showing up to his funeral. Marcos after a long pause exclaimed "don't worry, I'll be there" my dad laughed and the conversation was over. He would have been happy to know that his childhood friends were also present. There was word in his hometown of El Cerrito Pelon (Atolinga), Zacatecas Mex. of his passing. There was a service done on his behalf. They said that the capilla was full of family and friends. ~Sandra

I love you too!!!! Be strong in the truth that your dad is now in peace.....ay San.....I.....how can I say that.......its so difficult to say words of enlightment to someone who has lost a loved one, especially a parent!!!! I think I would be torn apart and inconsolable!!!! The thought of not seeing them again etc etc, a missing person in our life!!!! So what I'd rather say is....YES SANDRA, CRY..... CRY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT FOR YOUR LOSS!!!!! AFTER ALL HE WAS YOUR DAD!!!!! CRY YOUR EYES OUT UNTIL ALL THAT PAIN YOU FEEL IS EXHAUSTED AND YOU CANT CRY NO MORE, BECAUSE THIS TOO SHALL PASS, AND YOU WILL SEE LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND WILL BE RENEWED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...DONT HOLD BACK THE TEARS, THE ANGER, THE SADNESS YOU FEEL, MOURN HIM, HE WAS SPECIAL TO YOU!!!!! I love you and want you to know that the distance between us is only metric, because I feel you close to my heart always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!!!
