Tio Joao Furtado Carreiro..
I miss our talks.. I will miss your love of the place you came from the azores Portugal. I remember everytime you spoke. It was your joy of your home town. Spoke about family and true joy you have for them. When I got the news that you had passed, I had this deep discomfort with in my soul. Tears roll down my face uncontrollable like I had lost my friend. Instead realized god just wanted you to go home to be with your siblings. Parents and other family members. I am honoured to have had you in my life, now I will look back to the photos of you. When you would be excited to get your photo taken at a festa.
Thank you being in our life even though it wasnt for a long time. I can only cherish what we had and only wish is for you to at peace and a rest easy. God bless you and tio abenca..
