It feels like an eternity, but knowing I have decades more to live without her makes this feel like no time at all. I will continue to fight for my strength so I can honor her life, keep her story and impact alive, and change this world for the better, in her name.

PS. My baby grandaughter died after 10 days, she was born premature her lungs were not yet developed..I was in room as her mother held her as she took her last breadth..that was heart wrenching experience to watch her child as she took her last breadth. [ me, my mothe, grandmother all got to hold baby ana ] my daughter in law was devastated, ill never for her lagrimas as we laid her to rest, that was 23 yrs ago. Today, I went to cemetery today to take flowers, still very sad. It took my son and daughter in law ten years to decide to try gain and now we have Olivia she is 12--she is my joy. Take care amiga. Peace, joy and love.
