Nino JOJO

To be quite honest , I haven’t been to your resting place in years. I’m ashamed of how long it’s been , life gets in the way and suddenly you don’t realize but years have passed. long story short today was a bad day for me and I ended up taking the wrong turn on a street going home, I just so happened to run right into the cemetery , I knew it was YOU! Leading me there. I made it in before closing. You were going to be our sons Nino and baptize him. The moment Balta and I Found out it was a boy , we knew you were the one. Unfortunately you passed a month before he was born. Well I brought your god son with me today . He’s 11 now , going to be 12 in September and off to middle school just graduating elementary . I know you would be proud of him today and you would have been the best god father we ever could have chosen. I also know you would be proud of me too!! There’s so much I wish I could tell you . A lot has happened and changed but I know you’ve been watching over us this whole time. Continue to and just know there is not a day that goes by where I ever stop thinking of you . #forever19 #jacobsforevernino
