Today marks the 2nd year anniversary of the passing of a great man Roberto Ari Zamora.
He was the father of my son-in-law Alex. His body fought hard but ultimately stupid Cancer won. I only had the honor of meeting him a few times but this is what I remember and smile about .....
He loved Stephen's cooking.....
He understood more english than he let on cause he would laugh when Alex would say something "dirty" to Kamie....
He would always smile when he greeted you with this big open mouth smile...just like little Ari..
He loved to ignore Alex's mom and would pretend he couldn't hear her....
He was a fighter.... and never gave up.
Alex told me stories of how brave he was. How he stood up for his rights and had to spend a year in jail for it. How he escaped Cuba and came to America to find a better life for himself and to raise a family. How he worked so hard and raised 3 wonderful boys and gave them freedom of being an American citizen. He did all of this and barely spoke and English.
Roberto,
I want you to know you did a tremendous job. Your son Alex is perfect for my daughter.
He works so hard to make her happy and to provide her and little Ari with everything they could ever want or need. He has excelled in the church, that he had left your home and Boston to pursue. This year, he blessed his son and gave him a name, your name, and took his family to the temple so that they can be together for eternity. He loves his son and lights up whenever he sees him. He becomes this tender teddybear whenever he holds him and sings songs to him and doesn't care who hears him. Your namesake looks just like you. He is the light of my daughters life and ours. He is such a sweet spirit and just loves to laugh and be held and cuddle. I hope you are proud of your legacy.....
it is amazing.
Always loved....Never forgotten...
