Mom.... I was truly blessed to have you as my mother and best friend. We shared so much together, even our secrets. We laughed, we cried, we had disagreements, but most of all we loved. I have so many wonderful memories of you that I would need to write a book in order to share them with everyone. You were loved by so many.
Everyone that met you would eventually call you Mama. Since that is what you were to everyone. Your heart was filled with so much love and compassion. You made so many people laugh, not always interested intentionally, but by the way you would describe a situation and tell the story it would always turn out to be so funny.
I will miss our quiet times, our shopping sprees, our travels, our adventures, sitting together outside watching the birds arrive, enjoying our flower beds and always looking for that one flower that we didn't have. But mom... you were the flower that I did have and will always have in my garden, in my heart, in my soul, you will forever bloom. I will always love you and cherish you.
Thank you God for bringing her into my life. I took good care of her while she was here with me. Now please take good care of her for me. So sorry you had to suffer for so long near the end. It hurt me so much to see you that way. So much so you asked me not to come to see you suffer since that is not how you wanted me to remember you. Now your pain and suffering has ended. You can now be with Dad and Alfonso. Please give them a kiss and hug for me. xoxoxo
