Ruiz -- In memory of my dad Leonard Ruiz September 15, 1944 - March 4, 1995Seven years may seem a long time to others, but not to me. To those who may have forgotten:Go ahead and mention our loved one, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting us further. The depth of our pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making us cry We're already crying inside. Help us to heal by releasing The tears we try to hide.We hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending he didn't exist, We'd rather you mention our love one Knowing that he has been missed.If you would ask us how we are doing We would say"pretty good"or"fine" But healing is something ongoing We know it will take a lifetime.Dad, I honor you by teaching our little girls about you. Even though, you never held them, they sometimes cry for you, I miss Grandpa Ruiz. He's in heaven.� Donna Gomez
