On Thursday I got the news that my grandfather had passed away after battling years with diabetes and going through surgeries. He lived in Puerto Rico so I couldn’t visit him, but my mom did. This has honestly been the worst week ever and I can’t even imagine how my mom is doing over there. My grandfather did a lot for PR sports wise, including being the only Puerto Rican athlete to ever play in Superior Basketball, Volleyball Superior, Superior Softball and baseball all levels: Class A, Double A, professional winter ball majors. 

He meant so much to me and never judged me for the decisions I made. He was one of only two men I actually look up to. I miss him so much, and I can’t even go 2 minutes without a break down. I love you, Abuelo Libran.

Rest in Piece Francisco Libran.

I’m not having a good day. A family member past away and I can’t stop thinking about him. I need someone to talk to.
