Two years ago today, my life changed forever. My daughter, Nadia Estela Jimenez, left this world far too soon.

Nadia was brilliant, talented, comsiderate, and strong in ways most people never fully saw. She lit up every stage she stood on, mastered every subject she studied, and had a heart as deep and thoughtful as her mind. Whether she was performing in a school play, solving a tough math problem, or training in martial arts, she gave everything her all.

She was accepted to many colleges she applied to—she chose UC Santa Cruz, where she would have studied computer science and math. But Nadia was more than her achievements. She was a daughter, a sister,  and a friend that created many great memories.

Her absence is felt, and yet her spirit is everywhere. In a favorite song. In a flash of humor. In the quiet strength I try to carry now.

If you’re reading this, I know Nadia would ask to please check in on someone. Be gentle with yourself. And remember: behind the brightest smiles, there can be invisible battles.

Dear Nadia We love and miss you  are always in our 💕

We were in Santa Clara, CA for her black belt test in Oct 2022 when we decided to drive north to Chinatown in San Francisco. She liked going there for some Matcha Ice Cream. Today marks a year without Nadia. I hope one day to see her again. Love, Dad
