Hope, Faith, and Gratitude - The 2 Year Anniversary of Gabriella's Passing

In this episode I reflect on the two years since my daughter's passing, I can still remember the day like it's yesterday. Walking back into the ER to see her after she passed. The entire staff in tears over the loss of our daughter. I remember walking out numb,,, asking myself how do I live, how do I survive, and how do I breath. I was in a deep dark hole for the first year, then I made a decision. The decision to live up to the promise I made to Gabriella in the ER,.. That I would honor her through my actions for the rest of my life. Day's like today are brutally hard, but I am committed to my promise... I will honor you Gabriella, I will live a life and serve others to make you proud. Papi loves you Peanut!
