Mikayla

Want to begin by thanking each of you for your presence and support. We have come from near and far to support one another through an unimaginable event, the loss of our father, Robert Guzman, your son, brother, uncle, cousin, godfather and dear friend.

My father was an amazing man, actually one of a kind. Incredibly thoughtful, spontaneous, caring, attentive and knew how to enjoy life to its fullest. For those that had the pleasure of enjoying his company you knew firsthand that you were guaranteed a memorable time.

Dad was a man of few words, yet his silence and action spoke volumes. He was a jack of all trades, a true historian. Most importantly down to earth. Although life took him out to Texas, from the distance we felt his love, support and appreciation for us.

Our parents divorced when Brittany and I were young, for the sake of the children, they held a beautiful kinship. When dad visited New York, he would stay with us. When mom traveled, he would babysit his adult daughters. While here, he would take Brittany to work in the morning, me to school, and somehow managed to bring me lunch in the middle of the day. He would take us both on his routine runs for pizza. Often times we would escape late at night for his White Castle fix, to come straight home and binge watch Criminal Minds, Dexter and most recently Grey’s anatomy.

Dad never missed visiting every October for my birthday and would often return in December for Brittany’s. He will missed my 21st birthday this year. We will not have a legal drink together. Although, I’m so glad to say that the first two times I got drunk, was with my father; and man, does he know how it’s done.


Brittany

Dad, you chose the right partner, the most perfect mother for us. She’s the toughest cookie and by far the strongest woman I know. I don’t know what gods plan or intention is to have you taken away from us so soon. Though I do know that we’re left in the best hands to help get us through this. The pain she feels is unmatched to anyone else’s. The relationship you both shared was unique. Not always understood by many, but it worked and we treasure it.

Many of you may not have known but dad was relocating to New York. We were beyond excited to have him close again. We had looked forward to stringing along additional memories. Sadly, his life took another course.

Mikayla and I can both agree that the hardest part is the need to accept that he will not be here. He won’t be able to be part of our future milestones like see Mikayla graduate from college. Us getting married and forming a family of our own. We all know he would have been an amazing grandfather. But from the heavens he will celebrate with us. With pride he will say “those are my girls.”

Dad made a lot of wishes come true. He had wished for himself if he had a girl, please give her curly hair.” Sure enough, he got exactly that. Look at these curls!!!

We can only hope to have this wish come true when we have children of our own, that they carry our fathers traits and have his caramelized honey brown eyes.

I recall our last phone call; I closed by saying “I love you,” and I will hold on to his last ‘I love you’ forever. I thank you Dad. Without you, I would not be here. Without you I would not have known how to show and give love.

In closing, my father’s passing is an unfathomable and immeasurable loss. Words simply fail in capturing the void left in our hearts. Although, this chapter in his story has closed – his spirit will live on. Let’s stand united in our heartache and celebrate his life. Let’s keep his spirit alive by sharing the memories like they are movie scenes.

My dad Robert would want it that way.

Thank you
