Repost: My Other Mother

 

This was one of my first posts in my website in January 2007.  I am reposting here again – as we remember her today and always.  It has been 6 years.  We love you Mom, thank you for watching all of us from Heaven.  I gave this plaque to Mom Carmeling one Mothers Day occasion, I bought it in Rustan’s and I think it’s a beautiful one

Mom has lived a full and gracious life. She made sure she prepared herself and accepted God’s will for her.

Though we prayed and wished we could still spend more time with her, we also prayed to stop Mom’s pain and not to let her suffer. God has truly blessed Mom.

When I started going out with James in 1986, Mom immediately treated me as part of the family.

Nana took very good care of Jaime and Javier. We all love her very much and we will miss her! But we are happy that she is now in a better place.
