I have so many memories of Carlos, I'm not sure where to even begin.
Mario and I were best friends for many years through junior high-early adulthood. Early on I always viewed Luis as the intimidating quiet brother. Once I finally got to know him, I realized how amazing he truly was. Luis had a heart of gold. He worked hard for what he had and did as he pleased. I always admired how he seemingly could care less what others thought of him, but did what he wanted for HIM, and no one else. Luis was a truly amazing friend. If I needed something, I could count on him to be there.
Being 2 years younger, I was so thrilled when Luis asked me to his Senior ball. He said he "wanted a pretty girl on his arm", which made me feel good. That night was a blast! I have so many intimate memories I will hold close to my heart from that night. After graduation, he was SO excited to show off the house he purchased. Mario and I went to visit him and check out his new place, and he was GLOWING. He was so happy, and thrilled with himself at where life had taken him. I was so proud of him. Life unfortunately got busy, and Luis and I weren't as close as we used to be in recent years, which makes all of this that much harder. I now have so much regret but am taking away a valuable lesson from this loss to keep good friends close. Never let life get too busy for people you love. You never know how much time is left.
Luis was an amazing man, and he will be greatly missed. My condulances go out to the Hernandez family. I can't even begin to imagine the hole you now have to live with in your heart.
I love you Luis. I'll miss you very much.
