Algo que siempre caracteriz a mi to fue su sentido del humor, cuando nos fueron a visitar a Las Vegas y se hospedaron en el hotel, muy por la maana me llamo Andrea que mi to se senta un poco mal, pues fui lo ms rpido que puede a verlo y al llegar el estaba de lo mejor, bromeando como si nada pasara y mi ta Martha regandolo que se pusiera serio y me dijera que le pasaba , pero el contento y feliz como una lombriz Y tambin en esa ocasin que da su mal paso en mi casa y no estoy hablando de que anduviera con las chicas malas que en realidad estn muy buenas Jajajaja Lo qu pas es que se nos tropez en la entrada con el escaln que no vio y moles que se cae y al querer asistirlo para levantarlo no nos dej, diciendo: no no no, djenme, estoy bien yo puedo solo Lo que me dejan de enseanza estas dos pequeas historias de mi to es: a la vida hay que enfrentarla con buen sentido del humor an en la enfermedad ya saben lo que dicen: La risa es el alimento del alma o la risa es la mejor medicina para el alma y no importa cuantas veces te caigas, Si no cuantas veces te levantas y sigues adelante y el todo esto siempre lo practico en la hermosa y plena vida que llev. Por eso lo que vamos a recordar de el es: cuantas veces nos hizo rer y cuantas veces el nos ayud a levantarnos. Juan Jos Montoya (Johnny) Tu sobrino favorito
