Grandfather Munoz

As i sit here and reminisce of my joyful times as a kid I think of how big your Heart was and all the Knowledge you give. While under your care no recreational landmark was far you took Me everywhere, From Toa Alta to San Juan or El Morro to Dorado I can still feel the Oceans Water, smell Coconuts in the Air even hear an old Man playing the Bongo. Even if I was bad an 8 year old Tornado nightmare you never laid a Hand on Me, Instead you gave Me the Parental stare in return I would say ok Abuelito I'll be good I swear. Many Years have passed since your relocation to Heaven above, In my Soul my Heart and my thoughts you are far from gone. I wish you didn't have to leave the world so soon but God needed a General to guide his Platoon, You were a Leader and adored by many getting to Know You and meet You was a blessing. You played a big role in my Life you solid Heart of Gold, Until the Day that I age to be to old, Forever in your Honor I shall be proud to be a Muñoz. ™© By : Shawn Muñoz
