Ramon, my brother. I miss you. I remember a year ago clear as day in my mind.

I remember the excitement. Most importantly I remember the joy on both of your faces. I remember being so priviliged to stand by your side, next to your blood family and watch you marry this beautiful woman of Jesus.

Ramon, you finished well. I am proud of how you lead and stewarded the gift of a wife God gave you. Your story, will be one I share from the pulpit many times. I am so proud to have done life with you and her - together.

On a side note, if you ever get the chance, ask Allie about So Cal freeways and when CHP do a thing called a “round robin”. One of my favorite stories ever.
