only the good die young...

9:23 A.M. thursday, august 4th, 2005... my mom left us for her journey...

our entire family, her three sons, two daughter-in-laws, and nine grandchildren spent all day yesterday praying, holding hands, laughing, loving... she took her time and looked at each one of us for a long time as if to trying to memorize each face forever...

she died peaceful as she has lived...

i am grateful for her precious gift to her sons. i am grateful for her love that is forever embedded in my heart. i am grateful and proud for her strength, wisdom, peace, and love.

how can i possibly be sad when i am so proud of my mom and my family, and there is so much love... i am not sad, i am happy and grateful for all the things, especially the peace and serenity my mom left with us...

i love you, mom... i will miss your smile and laughter, but i know i don't have to miss your love because it will always be with me...
