A Letter Worth Reading

I hope you realized by now that the mood your were in when you wrote this was
caused by the terrible loss your family just experienced. You are still in shock
because Carlos did not have a lingering illness, he was taken so totally unexpected
and it will take time for everyone who loved him to learn to live without him. And yes,
it is a wake-up call for everyone to realize just how quickly everything that we take
for granted today can change.

You don't have to write in your blog right now, but I for one wish that you would
not cancel it because it is such a wonderful way to stay in touch and to share
and I would miss it a lot!!!! Your sharing like this makes the distance that
is between us disappear and it makes me feel close to you and your family.

Love you,
Ellie

This wonderful letter was written to me just this past Sunday from my Aunt Ellie. I asked her if I could post this and she said to please share! I found this e-mail touched me like no other. She wrote just what I was feeling and I put the words, "to learn to live with out him" in italics, it really is the truth, and I boldfaced that last part, which made me feel so good! So, thanks Auntie for the words of wisdom, I truly needed to hear that.

I also got another wonderful e-mail from my sister during this hard time. She said some really comforting things, late one night while she was cooling her yams for the boys! Her words just made me cry...but in a good way.

Thanks again to all my blogging buddies, to be here and support me during this hard time, I appreciate you all!

God Needed an Angel, so He Chose my Brother-in-law

My brother-in-law passed away after having a massive stroke and brain surgery.



He had a HUGE heart. He was always there for people and would have given you the shirt off his back if you needed it.


He loved Mariachi bands and would often sing with them. When Ponch and I got married, we had our wedding reception at Carlos and Gloria's...we had Mariachi play for us, thanks to Carlos.


We had just seen Carlos and Gloria when we went to the fiesta...afterword they came over and we enjoyed some beers and made plans to go to the lake, but God had different plans for us.




He leaves behind: 5 daughters and 1 son, 4 granddaughters and 1 grandson on the way, 5 brothers and 4 sisters, many nieces and nephews and both his parents.

Please forgive me for not posting. Please, if you pray, pray for his family.



Thank you,
