It pains me to write this post to share the news of the passing of my sweet, sweet husband and best friend.  He peacefully left us on Thursday, April 2nd 2020 at 8:30am while in the comfort of his home surrounded by myself, three of our four children, and his Mother and Sister Lupe.  It happened suddenly, but I never doubted God’s plan for him, although there were many times that I questioned him why it wasn’t me instead.

He was admired and loved by so many people.  James always took pride in knowing that he was the best father and husband that he could possibly be and he loved me like no other.  He was the light in my life that made me a better Mother, Daughter, and Friend.  The feeling I have right now is indescribable, I feel like someone just punched me and ripped a piece of my heart out.  I have no idea where my journey will go from here, but I’m grateful for having the years and memories that I did with this amazing man. 

He fought the good fight for one year, six months, and 28 days.   During that time I made the rest of his life the best of his life.  James was the most amazing man I’ve ever met and it hurts me inside to know that he is no longer here.  I wake up every morning feeling so empty and broken.  At times I also feel hopeless, but I know he would want me to push forward for myself and for our children.  

There will never be another man like James and he will be extremely missed.  May his memory live on through everyone.
