I am so blessed to have such a loving mother and I thank God often for that blessing. I feel such a strong connection to mom we kept in touch and mom was always interested in what was going on in my life. She would call me if she didn't hear from me and see how I was doing.Mom was always there for me no matter what offering a helping hand and encouragement. I admire moms commitment and hard work for our family she was always busy cooking and cleaning and taking care of us. I admire her strong faith in God and her Christian values. I already miss mom dearly especially talking and visiting her but I am grateful she doesn't have to suffer anymore. Mom has gone through so much struggles in her life with beating cancer twice and all her hip surgeries and other health problems but I never heard her complain and I admire the strength she had to get through her pain. Mom was tired at the end and it was too much for her and I understand her not wanting to struggle with her health anymore. I am grateful I got through my struggles and mom was proud of me these days that means so much to me. I love you more than you know mom and God willing we will be together again.
I will always have you in my heart. I wouldn’t be who I am today without your guidance in life, even as rebellious as I could be, you had patience and prayed for us children would make the right decisions. You never sided one over the other as we were all equal to you.
I will carry on your traits I have inherited, such as making your soups and rice pudding and my sewing skills. I even told you in your final days I inherited your short stature, which I got a chuckle from you.
I will continue on to try to put family first as you did.
I had the privilege of you dying in my arms and I will treasure that forever until I’m in your arms again.
I will always cherish my memories with grandma. Sleeping over at the apartment when I was little and helping her bake, devouring her delicious rice pudding and homemade soup and pies, going on Avondale Dairy Bar dates, our crazy night when we attempted to fly to Arizona during a horrible winter storm... I will miss you forever grandma but also am comforted to know you are now at peace. Until we meet again. Love always, Rosina.
