"It was a sunny morning as I packed for returning home to Detroit from Florida. I made my way down the last flight of stairs hands full when I saw a man passing in front of me. We locked eyes I said good morning. He repeated with a smile and in an all too familiar voice said "good morning". I said it again and he smiled and again said "good morning." I stepped close to him knowing it was cousin Moises (I had not seen or heard from him in years) I laughed and said "it's me Lydia and you'll never guess who's here too cousin Norma." We embraced and continued laughing at this crazy wonderful surprise. Our flight back to Detroit was later in the day so Moises being the host that he was invited us for a cafesito. We had a great visit catching up on who was doing what and how the family was doing. He mentioned his birthday was the following week so we decided to celebrate it early. We spent the day with him. Moises knew this part of Lauderdale like the back of his hand. He had been staying at this timeshare for more than 20 years. He was excited to show us around and spend the day with him. He was a wonderful tour guide and host. We strolled the boardwalk and had a birthday meal which included singing happy birthday. During lunch, we laughed, told stories, shed tears, and reminisced it was a precious and unforgettable day. Before we left he invited us to return during this his December trip. After that visit we continued to stay in touch sending family pictures and exchanging text messages. He was a generous human being and I am thankful for the time spent as a coincidence that turned into a lifetime memory. He will be missed. My condolences to his children, brothers, sisters and family. Love cousin, Lydia"
