Gabriel Leonardo Makielski-Rivera - born February 3, 2007 in Culpeper Virginia.
I pray that some kind person will deliver this message to my Son.
Dear Gabriel,
February 3rd, the day you were born, marks a special day in my life. Your name, Gabriel, was chosen for the meaning: “God’s beloved”. I miss you very much. Every day that passes I think about you (and your sister). I hope and pray you both are safe, healthy, and happy. I hope you can remember the days we played in the park, visited Grandma, and went to the museums. I hope you keep minding your manners as you were always good about saying please and thank you. People are more willing to give you what you ask for when you use good manners. Remember your Cookies: Bite-Sized Life Lessons. "Cooperate means, 'How about you add the chips while I stir?". There were many big words you learned such as compassion, optimism, pessimism, trustworthiness, honesty, open-mindedness, and wisdom. These are lessons that help open doors for you in the future. As your father I always want you to do the best you can, if it be sports, school, music or art. It is ok if things don’t work out the way you want as long as you give it your best try. You always have been, will be, and are my ”Best Buddy” and you will always be my beloved son. Happy Birthday Gabriel.
Love Always,
Daddy
