Fernando joined his heavenly family on June 15, 2020

45 years ago

Year 45
45 years ago we woke up in a hotel at Matagorda Beach.
At this time we were already on the beach talking to deputies from the Sheriff's office.
Since the holiday celebration of the 4th of July was around the corner, we were told it would be hard to search for you. Of course their assumptions were that your body was somewhere drowned in the ocean. But we did the best we could. Dad hired a company to do an air sweep over the waters to look for your body. He even called in the US Coast Guard, since he was a US CG man, and both resulted in nothing. The sheriff's department assured us that whatever drowns in the ocean does return to the beach as a pair of young siblings had just drowned and were found.
We had no clue what was awaiting for us once we returned home.
The mysterious phone calls, my best friend seeing you at the Frontier Burger on Bandera and Woodlawn Ave, mom and I seeing you pass by our house (and more than once ) so we knew we were not seeing things. We knew it was you.
Waiting for you, brother, just do it, come home
