Mom,
Already 1 year has passed. I can't even believe it. We still miss you so, so much. Your presence and your memory is everyone. My heart breaks into a million little pieces whenever I think of you and especially of what the kids got robbed of. I'm glad that you are no longer suffering. I know if was so, so hard for you and you tried to stay strong for us. Rest in peace always mami. I love you!!!!

Hey Mama,
I was thinking today that I hope you forgive me for not seeing you the night you passed. I went for Dad and it haunted me for so long. I didn't want those memories for you, so I hope you can forgive me. I love you with all my heart. Chris and Pauline had their baby this weekend. Hope you can see her because she is so beautiful. We all still really miss you alot. It's so lonely downstairs without you. JoJo still talks to you on the phone alot. He's potty trained now. He's getting to be a big boy. I love you mom, I wish you were still here. I hope you're resting and at peace and with Daddy now. Miss you forever!

Hey Mom,
Today was Easter. Missed you! We went to Marie & Rob's. I though it would be too hard to go to Sandy's. So it was a little more of a distraction to go there. I still feel funny leaving the house. I want to stay home alot. I feel really tired and just lay on the couch or in bed watching tv. I miss all your trashy shows you used to watch. I feel really hollow & empty inside. I wonder if that will ever go away. Jo-Jo talks to you on the phone alot. I hope you can hear him. I'm sure he misses you and doesn't know how to tell me. Jolien is sick again. So I'm waiting up to see if her fever goes down. Wish you were here mom. I really, really miss you. Love you always, Dee

Mom,
Today is a rainy day. The kind of day "we" always used to say was a good day for a nap. I haven't shed a tear since your funeral on saturday. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I grieved for you for the past 8 months. I mourned the person you once were. You were never the same after daddy died and then after your diagnosis, things just went downhill further. You tried so,so hard. I know you did. You did it for us and for that I thank you. I'm glad you're resting and at peace now. It was so very very hard to see you that way. It just wasn't you. So many days I cried for you and hoped you didn't notice because I needed to be strong for you. When in reality I was trembling with fear inside. Now I feel like I have some of your strength. I think you gave it to me because you no longer needed it. Your dreams were right. Daddy was looking for you and now he found you. I think we both knew it, we just didn't want to say the words. I'm sorry that you didn't get to go for your transplant. I know it kept you hopeful and for that I'm grateful. I wished it for you so hard. But you were tired mama and you missed daddy. I hope that one day I can be the kind of person you were. So special, so strong, loving, generous. We'll never forget all the good times, the vacations, the memories we made. I love you mom!

Dear Tia,
Most of our recent conversations were short because you were not feeling well. I remember I'd say I'll let you relax I'll call you later. There is more later... I know you are now at peace and with all those whom we have lost before you. Today was Palm Sunday and at mass the priest spoke of Jesus and his own death. Jesus was not afraid to die and he spoke to those around him of Heaven being a Paradise. As I heard this a picture of what I imagine Paridise to be flashed in my mind and I know that you are now RELAXING! It takes 9 long months to come into this world, a lifetime to make wonderful memories and in one split second we can be taken away. Altough you are no longer here in person you will always be here with me in spirit. I have many memories with you. I will never forget you and will always love you! I will miss my in box filled with all your jokes and that birthday card you would always send me every year without fail just to let me know you were thinking of me. Those cards meant alot to me and I looked forward to them every year. Tia rest in Peace in Paradise!
Love,
Sandy

Martha,
You were a tremendous soul. You gave me inspiration, knowledge, love and so much more. The house will forever have an empty feeling without you here. I will always love you and miss you terribly.
You fought so hard to fight the disease but ultimately gave up so that your daughter and grandchildren can live their lives. I am forever in your debt for everything you have done for me frm the first time I saw you to the last.
I am sorry I never got a chance to see you in the hospital. I never got the chance to say goodbye and tell you I love you. I hope you knew how much you meant to me.
Please know, I will do everything in my power to keep your daughter and grandchildren safe and happy.
Rest my suegrita, you deserve it.
Love you always,
Your adopted son,
Frank

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is this the long way?" she asked. And the guide said "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning." But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, she fed them and bathed them, and taught them how to tie their shoes and ride a bike and reminded them to feed the dog, and do their homework and brush their teeth. The sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this." Then the nights came, and the storms, and the path was sometimes dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her arms, and the children said, "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come." And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the Mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, "A little patience and we are there." So the children climbed, and as they climbed they learned to weather the storms. And with this, she game them strength to face the world. Year after year, she showed them compassion, understanding, hope, but most of all...unconditional love. And when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you." The days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she became little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And the mother, when she lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned so much and are now passing these traits onto their children." And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her, and gave her their strength, just as she had given them hers. One day they came to a hill, and beyond the hill, they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, For my children can walk with dignity and pride, with their heads held high, and so can their children after them. And the children said, "You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence." Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She's the smell of certain foods you remember. Flowers you pick and perfume that she wore. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well. She's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. She is Christmas morning. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. A mother shows every emotion..happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow... And all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life. She's the place you came from. Your first home. And she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy. But nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space...not even death!
"The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or touched--they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller-

Dear Tia:
I could not believe it. After being with you an hour before, you left us. I know you are in a better place. You are now with Abuelo y Abeula, Tio George and Fabian. I bet you are happy, but the rest of us down here are not. We miss you dearly. I love you Tia.

Hey mama,
Tonight was so, so hard. I feel like you are at peace and I feel like you are giving me inner peace. I will miss you terribly. Soli was such a big girl to come and say good-bye to you today. I want to apologize now for all the times I was angry with you. I never told you I was sorry. But I hope you know that I was having a very hard time accepting your disease. I didn't want you to give up to it. I hope I didn't push you too hard. It was only because I wanted the best for you. Although it was also selfishness on my part, because I needed you (still need you) by my side always. You're my mama and I will forever be connected to you by bonds that are stronger than life itself. I hope I did right by you. Who will I have, to tell all my funny stories to? Who will I have to show all my "shoppings" to? Who will I have to help me with all my things and all my kids? Who will tell me, asi no boluda, hacelo asi. Who will I have to flip me the bird when I mouth off? I love you mom, you're the light of my life.

I will never forget Martha and her caring ways. She was always doing something good for somebody.
When my mother died many years ago, Martha would come over and sit with me on the nights my husband worked at the fire house. She had a way of making people laugh and that's what she did for me and my dad at that sad time.
When we worked together at Vita Life there was never a dull moment. Laughs were many and friendship was great. We did have a lot of fun.
May she find peace in heaven with her husband, son and mother.

I will always remember the good times we had during group sessions but most of all the FUN we had at the Holiday Party.
Miss you already,

Mom,
No more oxygen, no more medicines. I had them come today and take everything away. You're free now to breathe freely and easily. I'm sorry if you suffered. My heart bleeds for you. I hope you are at peace and happy. That's all I ever, ever wanted for you. I know it was hard for us to talk, but I feel like in the last couple of weeks, we really came together and I'm glad we told each other "I Love you". All I ever wanted to do was take care of you and make you as comfortable as possible. I hope I made a difference in your life. The kids miss you, they cried so hard. Jolien especially. Jo-Jo keeps going downstairs and is still eating your cookies. Rest in peace mami. You deserve it!
Love Always

We never got to sit down and have our talk but its ok because I know you will always be looking down on me. I hope you are at peace now.
