CARLOS ROMERO by Debbie Romero (His mom)
Carlos was born on Dec. 27, 1977. He was a pretty mellow kid. He was very soft spoken.
Carlos was very smart. I remember when he was little, don't really remember how old he was, but he could spell any word you gave him. I would get words, big words, from the dictionary and he would be able to spell them. He liked to draw. I still have some pictures that he drew of a guy in a zoot suit. There was a time when he wanted to join the air force so he could fly those planes, like in the movie Top Gun. He had a framed picture of a plane in his room. Then he went to middle school, and everything changed. He was getting into trouble and didn't really care about school anymore.
He ended up going to Boys Town in Nebraska. He did real good there. He had a 4.0 gpa. That's where he met his girlfriend.
They had a little boy named Andrew. He was born in 1996.
He's a God sent from Heaven. He is just like his dad. He lookslike him, acts like him. He's Carlos all over again. Carlos would be so proud of Andrew.
They say things happen for a reason. And for the longest time, I just didn't understand why Carlos had to die so young. I use to think that it just wasn't fair that he had to die. I still don't think it's fair. They also say we are all here for a reason. I thought that I had no purpose being here. I don't know, maybe Carlos died so we could help other kids. But now I believe, that with this program "Guitars not Guns" that we are here to help kids so that they don't fall into the wrong crowds. If we can help even just one kid, it would all be worth it! I think Carlos would be very proud of what we're doing.
