Angel Alberto Gulden Reyes. My maternal grandfather, and a man I never met. A man whose name I have forgotten many times. A man I never once talked to, who never expressed any interest in this branch of his family tree.
Today I learned that he passed away on November 14. He was 95.
May he rest in peace. I wish I could cry for him, or even feel the loss more than I do. I know that he had another life that began shortly after he divorced my grandmother not long after my mother was born. I hope they are able to mourn him where I can't.
The most I can say is thank you for being my ancestor. My family wouldn't exist if he hadn't walked this earth. So, thank you.
Gracias, Abuelo.
