Grandma I remember the last time you and grandpa came to visit me in Morro Bay and you told me to never drink or smoke because it gives you wrinkles and makes you ugly hahaha I still laugh about that to this day. 
You and the house on rd 120 gave me stability. I knew I always had a home, a bed to sleep on and food in my belly and you would never turn me away. We use to sit in the living room and watch novellas while you taught me to sew quilts. A skill I’ll always have. I miss our big Christmas parties there w the gift lottery I won a tent one year and slept in it in my mom’s living room for a year straight lol. In the morning grandpa would be making us beans and eggs. Your tortillas and salsa no one can ever top. When I lived with you guys in high school you always made sure to put my lunch money in your tea pot in the window above the sink. And grandpa would drive me to school in the Jimmy before his morning coffee at McDonald’s w his friends. The sketchy lil room all us cousins thought was haunted. Climbing the cherry trees,  hunting tadpoles on the property, you peeling us pomegranates w salt and making sure we wore sunscreen I miss you and grandpa and that house. Our family’s home. Plz take care of my Stevie in heaven till I can be with you all again in our Solis-Avila ranch in the sky! Love you so much thank you for always taking care of all of us!

Ali and my mom looks like they are having a good time.

I will miss all the adventures trips and party’s we would go to and casino losses at least on my part and shopping trips and the one that truly stands out is when you almost took me out in the electric car (there went my chancla lol ) . Still, I guess that was my fault cause I made you get on it but it makes me laugh till this day or when I said we are getting on this Indiana Jones’s ride at Disneyland boy I wish I could have a memory photo of your face  cause that makes me laugh till this day. But you  had fun I told Nayda about it the other day and I busted out laughing as I told her. Ima miss you mom and like you said dad finally finished your house in heaven cause I  know how badly you wanted to go to your house on Earth.
