To my Pepa,
You always had a special place in my heart. I can still hear you greet me with a “HEYYY KORKYYY” and a big grin. And you would always say “ah ok, alright” every time I hugged you with that same grin. You were just a cute old man. I strayed away from you and mema as I hit my teenage years and I am sorry for that. But I have so many memories from spending so much time with you all as a child. Mema would fuss at you for the 5 different bikes you’d bring home from the flea market every week, but you would tell be happy to fix one up for me to ride in the driveway as you told her to hush up. You would always stand at all the doors and talk about the weather. And you gave me a nickname that has stuck with me to this very day, even though its been upgraded to dorky korky for a lot of people now. It will remain on my license plate for years to come. Rest easy in paradise with your soulmate. Sending my love to you both.
