My grandfather was a great man. I'll miss his sense of humor, his jokes, and small words of advice. He tought me you have to work hard to get what you want. Nothing is given to you. He tought me hard work ethic, a hard handshake, and to pray at the dinner table. I'm very grateful for his sacrifice and proud to be an american, but most of all I'm honored to have "Sangre de Chile".
