Today was a powerful memorial service.  I didn’t get to write this week or on papi’s day because I did have a lot of things on my mind. Work life balance is seriously necessary now in my life. So the words to express during an intimate time like this had to come spontaneously straight from the heart.

I started with this verse. I think it is best to describe the daddy concept I had of Mr. Carlos Cruz, Jr. 61 years of life he had.

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.One thing that my big bro Creatan said today that was very impactful was that he would not compromise who he was for anyone. And so he would say the same to anyone. He would find a way to speak something positive in the midst of any situation.
John 15:11-17 NKJV
