Hey. It’s me. I don’t really know what I’m writing. Maybe I just wanted to make sure you’re still there. Are you?

I feel bad I haven’t written in awhile, but it’s not because I don’t think about you everyday, it’s because I do and it hurts too much. It’s very painful to think about the day we had to say goodbye. It’s still doesn’t feel real. Sometimes I think you are right down the street at home and a phone call away, but then I remember it’s not real. Just memories and wishful thinking I guess. I wish we had more time together. I wish I was a better daughter, but I pray you knew how much I love and appreciate you. You were the best mother and friend anyone could ever ask for. You taught me how to be a good mom and a better person. You supported me know matter what, through the good and the bad and I thank you so much for that. You took care of my baby when I was not able to and helped mold her into the amazing person she is today. I would not have made it without you and probably would not be here right now. I miss you so much and love you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers and will always be in my heart. I love you mom.

The days used to drag. Now, I try to drag my feet so the days can go by slower. I'm not sure which way is better. Time is flying by like summer vacation and there's no time to take a breather. I can't believe it's been two days since you left us. It feels like just yesterday. Yet again, it's been so draining, so hard just to remember what month it is. I'm so grateful that you don't have to be here to witness the devastating strain COVID took on this society. I hope you are at peace and one day, I will see you again.

If you are reading this, read it carefully.
There is no doubt in my mind that you have found your serenity. I know it sounds egocentric, but I wish that you could've found that with me. I know that you had to go, but knowing that I'll have to spend my whole life without you is scary. But I find relief in knowing that your memory lives on in mom and papa and perhaps even me. I always knew you were an angel, and I'll think of this as you just returning home. Happy Birthday Mimi! Don't forget me . . .

She took my hand. Hers were cold, but the good kind of cold that you need when you're on fire. She lifted it to her face and brushed her lips ever so gently across my skin. It tickled. She said, “Ana, don’t you be afraid.” Her grip tighten around my hand. “I’ll be right here with you.” I felt a finger stab into my chest, right where my heart was beating the strongest. She took the edge of her finger to clear the tears from my eyes before they fell onto my cheeks. “Look at those alligator tears.” She would say, and my mouth cracked into the slightest smile. “I’ll be right here when you get back.” She smiled so brightly, the sun was jealous. She pulled me in for a warm embrace. Her hugs were always enough to restore hope. My heartbeat began to follow along to the rhythm of hers. She kept her word for a while. Until one day, she wasn’t there when I got back.

Hi mom,
I know it’s been awhile since I last wrote on here, but the pain from missing you is the same as it was the day after we loss you, if not more. There’s so much I wish I could talk to you about. Anas growing up so fast and I try and talk to dad about stuff, but it’s just not the same. He’s not you. He misses you so much. I try and be here for him and help him as much as I can, but I’m not you. No one is like you and no one can ever take the place of you. You are missed so very much by everyone. Ana wants and misses her Mimi. She misses spending time with you and talking And laughing with you. Poor mini is all alone more than half of the time. Ana and I go over everyday to see and play with her, but she really misses you. We all do more than words can say. I love you mom.

Middle school. Crazy right? After that comes high school then college, before you know it I’ll be working nine to five at a job I hate. That’s why I need you here. To remind me that’s more to life than what we’ve been lead to believe. I need you to show me the beauty in life. You used to be the beauty in my life. Now its like I’ve forgotten the true meaning of beauty. I don’t want to see fake beauty in diamonds and thick layers of makeup. You were real, raw beauty. You taught me how to be beautiful. Not on the outside where everyone can see with a single glance. The true beauty on the inside. The part where people have to actually look past the surface and settle among your heart. You taught me how to be beautiful in a way that most people cannot be. You taught me how pure. Unique. I read this fact that some animals can see colors that human beings can’t see. I wonder if you saw the world differently than most. Maybe that’s why I am who I am today. You inspired me. You molded my soul so it was different from everyone else’s. You were the best part of me. If this pain is all I have to remember you by, then I will never let my tears fade. I cherished our time together and for the rest of my life, I shall cherish the broken part of my heart where your memory lies.

You know the bad part about remembering everything? You can picture everything perfectly in your mind. Every part of every piece of every time you were with me. Today, we were all talking about Joel. Sorry to bring him up. Anyways, I remember the time when you came into the museum of science and technology when it was time to go see him. Gina and the boys were there too. You held onto me so tight and told me everything was gonna be alright. I started crying. You described my tears as alligator tears when we told mom and papa later. You were with me through so much. It’s scary to think you won’t be with me through the rest. I love you so much.

I miss you so much. It's easy to block your emotions, but the hard part is accepting them. I've had trouble accepting the fact that your not here. It's scary that everyone is building a new life from the bricks of the life that crumbled. The life where you were still here. You were the foundation. Now, everything is so unsteady. Some days I remember the moments we shared and get happy. Some days I remember the moments we shared and get sad. Like the time you made me ABC soup. That was fun, but you're never gonna make it for me again. Or how about the time I taught you how to play uno. Or the time you taught me how to grow up in this world. It's scary. Without you it's even scarier. The time I keep playing over and over again in my mind, is the very last time I saw you before you were in a hospital room. At your house. With papa. Before I left for Joel's. I was telling papa a riddle. You were smiling. I love you so much.

I’ve never given much thought to the meaning of love. But today I sat down at my desk and this is what I came up with.
The dictionary defines “love” as an intense feeling of deep affection. Go ahead. Look it up right now. That’s what it says. Don’t get me wrong, Google is very smart and sure, that’s the scientific explanation for it. That’s not what love is, though. Not true love anyways. I’ve seen love. Real, tender, pure love. Not clouded with regret or pain or fear. Just . . . love. There’s no series of words strung together that can possibly describe this bond, this connection, this constant feeling of needing someone else’s hand laced through yours.
There’s these two people. One of them, determined and driven, but also selfless and compassionate. The other one, loving and gentle, but don’t get fooled because she’s got bones of steel. Maybe the strongest woman I’ve ever met. I knew they cared about each other, but my whole life I never realized how perfectly they fit together. Two individuals, but they were a single soul. So, here I am, trying to explain what love really is, but all I ever had to do was think about them because they are the definition of love. So, keeping in mind their special connection, here’s the meaning of that four letter word.
Love; That burning feeling in your chest when your heart is melting. Love; That look in her eyes when he got home from work every night. Love; The way he looked at her whenever she smiled. Love; All those times he sat by her side, holding her hand, when she needed him. Love; Knowing that even when someone’s heart isn’t beating anymore, you still have a place in there. So, yeah, if love has to be put in words, I guess that’s what it is. It’s him and her and their unbreakable bond.

Tomorrow is my birthday again. It seems like I just had one. The year has gone by so fast. I remember everything, that day you went to the hospital, like it was yesterday. You were here one minute and gone the next. It’s so crazy how your whole world can change so fast. How someone I love and care about so much can be taken away just like that. It’s so unfair. You always told me that life was unfair. 41 years ago tomorrow you brought me into this world and because of that I was able to bring Ana into this world. She misses you so much. We all do. I love you mom and I hope you are happy and at peace.

Your eyes opened. You took your first breath. Your heartbeat filled the room like a gentle symphony. A star was born. A hero was created. True beauty entered the world. Your smiled warmed the hearts of those around you. You were brought to this Earth for a reason. You provided so many people with hope, peace and love. You were strong. You were a fighter. A survivor. But also so much more. You were a mother, a wife, a sister, a grandma, but most of all . . . you were mine. I cherish every moment that I got to spend with you and hate the world for every moment that I can’t. I love you so very much. Happy birthday!

Life has changed so much without you here. Christmas is coming. The best present I could ask for is having you back. That is at the top of my list. It nearly been a year since you left. Why did you leave? Why did you leave me and mom and papa? We were a whole. Now we are broken up into pieces. So why did you do it? Just like that. I never even got t say goodbye. I never got to tell you that I love you. Or that I would miss you so very much. I never got to see you again. Why did you leave me? Were you hurting? Did you enjoy the last moments of your life? Is that why you left? Were you not happy? Maybe you wanted to stay. Did you? Because I wanted you to stay. None of us expected this. None of us were ready. Maybe you were. Maybe you were ready.

Mom,
It’s 9 months today that you were taken from us. Just like that. One day you were here and everything was like it was supposed to be and the next you were gone forever. Everything feels so wrong without you. I can’t even begin to describe the pain and the huge hole that is now in my heart. I’m trying so hard to be strong for dad and Ana, but really I’m just falling apart inside. The more time that passes, the harder it gets. I love you so much and wish so badly I could see you and hug you one more time. I would do anything to change what happened and I know that’s selfish and I’m sorry, I just miss you so much. If I could just have one more day with you. I love you so much mom.
Your daughter,

I don’t want the world to forget those things. I don’t want the world to forget you. You were so special. Sometimes I wonder if you knew that. I didn’t tell you enough. No one did. No one told you how important you were. So I am. You were important. You were special to me. You special to mom and to papa and to anyone who ever met you. I promise, as long a I live, as long as I am in this world, you will be in it too. No one will forget you. I will not forget you.

I wish you were here to play Yahtzee with me. I wish you were here so I could tell you how much I love you. I know I didn’t tell you enough. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. You saved me so many times. Before I had to go to Joel’s house, you calmed me down and told me it would be okay. When the fire happened, I was with you so I felt safer. Just know that wherever you are, your memory will never be lost, your smile never forgotten, and your love will stay in my heart. I love you!

Dear mom,
Yesterday was exactly 6 months that you were taken from us. I miss you more and more everyday. I know you were tired of being in pain all the time and fed up with all the never ending doctors appointments and health issues, so knowing you’re not hurting anymore and are finally at peace gives me some comfort. I just wish there was a way for that to have happened when you were still here. We all miss and love you so much.

I’m so very saddened to have just learned of Cathy’s passing. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I always looked forward to seeing and talking to her and respected how she carried herself. She was devoted to her family, and had an undeniable strength and certainly never pulled any punches. With that strength one could always see her deep caring, loving and sensitive nature as well. I remember the last time I saw her and we spoke. She’s listened to me as I cried and told her and Marc of my own mothers passing. Her words to me were that life would never be the same, and it will always be with me but that I had to be strong for my children. She hugged me, squeezed my hand and gave me a knowing nod. That’s who Cathy was. Truthful and caring always putting the children and the needs of others first. Rest In Peace Cathy, Laura. ( Kays)

I met lady Catherine at a work event of Aaron last summer and I had the most charming time you could possibly have with a stranger. She striked me as witty yet sensitive, perceptive yet reserved and incredibly kind. She was happy and proud to be with her son, daughter-in-law and grandaughter. I don't bond easy, but for half a day she made me feel as uf I was part of her happiness too.
