"Abril 17, 1943 - Diciembre 20, 2020 representa el amanecer y la puesta del sol para nuestro amado padre, Marcelo Alvarado. El guion representa el tiempo que el estuvo con vida en esta tierra con cada uno de nosotros que lo amamos y sabemos lo que esa linea representa.
Papi fue un padre muy amoroso con cada unas de sus hijas. El iso lo mejor a su manera de ser un buen esposo con sus virtudes y defectos. Las personas que lo conocieron sabían que el era un gran hombre que tenia mucho que ofrecer, por mucho o poco que el tuviera. Siempre compartió con su granito de arena para quien lo necesitaba.
A el le gustaba celebrar la vida y se llenaba de felicidad cuando avian celebraciones familiares. Nuestro padre fue un gran agricultor, que le gustaba cultivar, ver sus frutos, y gozar de la naturaleza. Durante el transcurso de su vida, el tuvo la oportunidad de tener un nuevo rasgo y con la ayuda de buenas personas a su alrededor el estudio la mecánica. Con su noble corazón y carácter tuvo muchas buenas personas que le extendieron la mano y logro traer su familia a los Estados Unidos.
En la vida no todo fue fácil pero el nunca cedió a darse por vencido. Con subidas y bajas en 2017, el le entrego su vida a Nuestro Señor Jesus Cristo. Desde entonces fue que papi vio la vida con una nueva perspectiva. Al paso del tiempo pudimos ver en sus manos los callos que los años de trabajo marcaron para darnos lo mejor. Ahora solo recordaremos el amor y nobleza que para nosotras las manos representaban. Papito lindo, se nos fue muy pronto y se llevo consigo un pedazo de nuestras vidas pero en las semillas que dejo plantadas, su memoria vivira con nosotras por siempre.
April 17, 1943 - December 20, 2020 spans the initial sunrise and final sunset for our beloved father, Marcelo Alvarado. The dash represents the time he was alive on this earth and holds a special meaning with each one of us who loved him and know what that dash represents.
Papi was a very loving father to each of his children. As a husband, he did his best with his virtues and despite his shortcomings. People who knew him recognized that he was a great man who had a lot to offer, no matter how much or little he had, he was always willing to share with others.
He liked to celebrate life and was filled with happiness, especially when in the company of family gatherings. Our father was a great farmer, who liked to cultivate the soil, see its fruits, and enjoy nature. During the course of his life, he had the opportunity learn a new trade and with the support of good people around him, he studied and excelled in mechanics. With his noble heart and character, he came in touch with many good people who befriended him and helped him bring his family to the United States.
In life things did not always come easy but he never gave up. Despite the ups and downs in 2017, he gave his life to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Since then, daddy saw life from a different perspective. As time went by, we could see on his hands the calluses that the years of hard work marked as he strived to provide for us the best he could. Now we will only remember the love and nobility that those hands represented to us. Papito, you left this world too soon and you have taken a piece of our hearts with you, but your memory will live with us forever."
