02/25/2026 Rafa left us…

After 2½ weeks of being by your side 24/7 in the hospital, I had to say goodbye to the love of my life. The man who was kind, funny, strong, a devoted dad, and the most genuine human being I’ve ever known. You had a smile that could light up any room. You were loving, caring, and the perfect gentleman. Everyone loved you, because you loved everyone. You never judged, you only embraced.

You were my perfect human.
You were - and still are -  my world.
My partner in crime. My safe place. My home.

And then… you were gone.

Everything we shared - all our plans, our laughter, our inside jokes, our dreams, in the blink of an eye became memories. It wasn’t like I imagined it would be. I didn’t just break down in sadness at first. As hard as it is to admit, I was angry.

Angry that I didn’t get to say everything I still had in my heart.
Angry that I didn’t get to whisper “I love you, amor” one more time.
Angry I didn’t get to kiss your lips again.
Angry I couldn’t say sorry for the times I was hard on you.
Angry because you always said I was your endgame, and now you’re right.
Angry because it wasn’t your choice to leave me.

But more than anything, I know how deeply you loved me. Every day. Every minute. Every second. I felt it. And I will carry that love with me forever.

This love is eternal.
A part of me will always be with you.
And a part of you will always be with me.

Because we were one.

Thank you for every minute we had together.Thank you for making me a better woman. Thank you for loving me the way you did. I love you more than words will ever hold.

I’m grateful you got to ride your final ride. And I will forever be thankful that I was the one holding your hand until your last breath. That is something no one can ever take from me. I am proud to say I was your endgame.

Rest in peace, my love.

The Moving Moto was our baby. And now, we will use this page to celebrate you -  to keep your spirit alive, to honor your passion, and to make sure your memory never fades.

You may have ridden your final ride here…but your love rides with me forever.

​

I also want to take a moment to say thank you -  from the deepest part of my heart.

To our chosen family, our loved motorcycle community… thank you. In this world that not everyone understands, we found our people. We made lifelong friends. We supported riders. We shared the road, the laughter, the adrenaline, the early mornings, the late nights, and the passion that only riders truly get. You embraced us, rode with us, believed in The Moving Moto, and most of all, you loved Rafa.

The outpouring of love, messages, prayers, and support has carried me through moments I didn’t think I could survive. You are not just a community - you are family. And I will forever be grateful that we built our lives surrounded by such incredible souls.

I also want to thank the nurses and doctors at the Critical Care Unit at Huntington Memorial Hospital. There are no words big enough to express my gratitude. The kindness, the gentle conversations, the warm words, the way you cared for Rafa - and for me - during the hardest days of my life… I will never forget it.

You treated him with dignity, compassion, and respect; you all had my back. You held space for hope, for heartbreak, and for love.

Thank you to every single one of you who stood with us.

We felt it.
We still feel it.

And we are forever grateful.
