Carlos Gustavo Mejia

Hello everyone,
I first want to start off by saying thank you for coming on behalf of my father. We are gathered here today to send one angel off to heaven, many know him as "Gustavo". As some of you know my dad was a person that was caring, hardworking, hard-headed but to me, he was the best Dad that anyone could ever have. My Dad raised me, teaching me life lessons beyond many skills no matter if it was about work, life, or school. Yes, I said school my father was 10 times smarter and quicker than me even though he went to school until the 2nd grade. Some of you might know my Dad as a protective Parent towards me and his other kids and for that I respect him. He was always there for me no matter the position I was in, for example, my Dad would be the very first person in the stance to see me play my games and the very last to leave. I remember my Dad showing up to my games not knowing what's going on or how the game is played but was screaming my name and cheering me on, hoping I would succeed. My handsome father said "I need something in return for being at your games" and that was a hug after every game he came to, which of course was granted. Even though he wasn't an angel at the time, he was always watching over me. I remember my dad teaching me how to break a horse at 12 years old and every time I got bucked off a horse my Dad would say these wise words that I would never forget and didn't think at the time would be a good thing to think about in every situation, my dad would say " no te rajas mijo sta bien eslo atro ves" in English that means "don't worry my son it's okay just try again". Not only did my Dad know how it feels to fail but he knows how it feels to succeed in whatever he was trying to achieve. However, in my book Gustavo never failed at being a father. A lot of the reasons I Grown-up to be the way I am now is because of my father, I would have never accomplished my goals without his encouragement and acknowledgment that he has provided for me. And if you are hearing or seeing me Dad, please watch over me and our family and just know that everything I do in life is to make you proud so you're able to have bragging rights to others. I am proud to call my dad a role model, I am proud to call him my best friend but most of all my Dad.


Gracias a todos que vinieron. y quiero empezar a decir unas palabras parte de mi papá. Mi papá era un hombre cariñoso, hermoso y inteligente que me enseñó todas las cosas de la vida Y cada vez que le quise enseñar a mi papá algo mayra Sonrisa por qué me decía "no mijo estás bien verde todavía" Pues yo de verde le decía tú piensas apá ". Mi papá quería mucho a sus hijos siempre me decía " mi hijos me tienen hasta aquí pero los quiero'' .Mi papá era mi mejor amigo nosotros era unos cómo chavo y Kiko pero yo pienso que más mejores. Yo sé que la vida es bien duro y tienes que hacer muchas cosas que hacer La vida mejor pero cada vez que la miraba mi apá Se la miraba miraba fácil, mi papá era mi Héroe, Y cada vez que le miraba mi apa Cuando estaba vivo Yo le miraba como un rey, ahora cuando la miro o cuando pienso de pienso de Dios. Y si me estás escuchando ahorita papá te quiero decir que te amo y perdóname porque no hice más cosas lo que puedo hacer cuando estabas vivo pero No me voy a rajar y voy a decir que por los consejos que me distes no te lo voy a olvidar y voy por la camino derecho como me dijistes. Y también te quiero decir gracias para todo los sacrificios qué existes para mí y sus hijos, Te amo mi ray!

Gracias
