He taught his grandchildren how to stand up for themselves, showed that even the hardest battles can be won, and that a grandpa’s love is unending and everlasting. Pedro and Maria made sacrifices to ensure their family would have the opportunity to achieve dreams they never could have imagined and their family is forever grateful.
