“Manuel” Good morning ?? 365….gone and done but my pain stiil like yesterday. Macy survived without us…who knew. Its hard for me cause today has taken on a dual role. The day you became an angel and my bday. So im laying here looking at your pic and wondering should i just stay in bed OR go about “my” day. I can hear you now telling me “mija its ok dont worry go do something”. Those ever encouraging words of wisdom you always gave. As for now bed is safe later ill get up. Just know im thinking bout you?? today and always. Love you grandma??

Hey gram, time has stood still since you became our guardian angel. It seems like just yesterday i was running around with tomato juice in my hair..your “hair gel”. The days we spent ironing formal dresses and measuring for quinces. Last minute shopping on xmas day. You driving me to school. Moving you from 814 to 804..hahaha. Me marrying in a dress you saved for me. Miles at Macys. Following you as you drove the cart through Walmart. You coming for visits to my house. You sharing Kiko Luci and “your Emi’s” milestones. Selfies with you gma. Driving to doctors…you holding my hand. Getting your ears pierced. Going for your mail. Locking your bedroom door under your watchful eye. The PURSE….You left us…your free. But i feel your love everyday. Thanks for all the experiences you gave me and my family. The time spent and lessons we’ve learned from you are priceless. Keep us safe until we meet again for our last cup of coffee and pan dulce or glazed twist. I love you gma??

Mom, you were the light of my life and the breath beneath my wings. You showed us at a young age how to live life you taught me how to appreciate the many things I had and never question the things I didn’t have. The one thing I am most thankful for is your unconditional love that you gave me. I only wish you could have stayed with me longer but that is the selfish part of me because you are so much better now, no pain and for that I am happy you have gone to a better place. One day Mom we will all be together again and I can’t wait to see your beautiful smiling face again so dance and sing like only you can until I see you again. love you Mom.
