Today, heaven gained one of the gentlest souls I have ever known.

The phone call came before sunrise, and with it, a heartbreak I never imagined I would have to carry. My dad, Jaime Hinojosa, took his final breath and went home to be with the Lord.

Some people leave footprints on your life. My dad left an entire path. He was the voice that comforted me, the hand that guided me, and the heart that reminded me I was loved.

I will miss the rare moments I could have with him, the long drives, the laughter, and the countless memories we shared together. I will miss hearing his voice. I will miss his love for God and how important it was for me to save my salvation. I will miss all of him.

But even in my grief, I find peace in knowing that he is no longer in pain. He is whole again. He can see. He can walk. He can rest. No more being hooked up to machines and painful surgeries.

Though my heart aches for him, I know this is not goodbye.

It is simply, “I’ll see you later.”

Rest peacefully, Dad.

You were loved beyond measure, and you will be missed beyond words.

My best friend. My hero. Forever in my heart.
