A grandparents love is like no other.I remember very vividly seeing my grandfather in the kitchen cutting meat and blending chile to make his famous asado, He loved to make asado and migas Migas were a desert he made with raisins, cheese, bread and cinnamon. They always came out so delicious and definitely were one of my favorite dishes on Christmas. My grandfather was one person that I knew that i could always count on no matter the situation! I also admired his love for my sons. He loved and enjoyed their company every time we were around. We were very blessed to have been able to have him in our lives as long as we did. He is definitely missed tremendously and his love in this world will always be remembered!
