Life is what you make it. Today is a sad day. We are all gathered around here for a special someone and that special someone is my mother. My mother was and will always be my other half of my heart or I should say my whole heart in which we share together. Mom, the days we spent together laughing and just laying on the couch or in the room together were the greatest moments I had to experience with you because I looked up to you like I look up to God. Every day was a new challenge for you but you overcame those challenges and we did it together. Losing a child at the age of eleven you made it but you broke down because of the person you are : to kind , loving, and dashtun . You made it though even though it took time to heal. You were blessed with 4 children that love you so very much and always will love you forever and ever. Great personality, beautiful smile, loving heart, oh and that rocking body. You had it all mom, you truly did. You’re that one lady I’d tell stories about and people would be touched right then and there. You were a dream come true. You are my shining star. Through the hard times you touched my life, you made yourself worth looking up to, you had all the strength you needed to get through it. That day we went to get your biopsy I prayed every day before asking God if you did have cancer to help you through it. And then we had found out you had breast cancer. I had hope and never lost faith. After that I saw the change in your face. I saw that you were upset but you had the positive attitude and did what you had to. You started out with radiation , took chemo pills, then you started doing chemo labs. Every day was a new day, a new challenge with how aggressive your cancer was. Just this past year things started going down hill. Being in and out of the hospital, losing weight, seeing you in pain, I still had faith in you and I knew you had the strength and will to get through it. Spending the days I had no school or work and just sitting next to you cuddling were the best. The things we would talk about were priceless. Sometimes I’d say things outta this world… which is typical for your silly lil’ girl to do but that was just to make you laugh. Just making you laugh made my heart melt. I felt so good and I felt as if I made you happy. Every day was a story to be told with you, a positive one of course. You made things easier then they looked. I promise to God I never saw one tear come from your eyes throughout the four years of battling cancer. That goes to show how strong of a women you truly are. Don’t worry about your son. Either tata, me, or Maria got him and will raise him up to be the man you want to see, I’ll make sure he stays outta trouble and stays away from those girls. Don’t worry mom you left your family with something we all cherish and that’s your spirit that will live with us forever and will never leave us at all. You are so inspirational and I hope I become the woman you became throughout your life. I watched your footsteps in life and I definitely learned but I know I have yet more to learn from myself. I won’t forget the call I got at work from Maria saying you were dead. My heart stopped but the whole way driving home I said Vicky please be with her and let everything be okay. Please, please be with her. When the ambulance finally arrived they got your pulse back and rolling into the hospital your heart started beating but the one thing I didn’t hear was your voice. I knew I had to do what I had to do and that was doing everything I could. We put you on life support to see if things would get better, but things weren’t improving. Meeting with the doctors everyday in the conference room, I was drained but I didn’t loose faith. I still knew you were a fighter through all of the obstacles you’d beaten. It was good knowing you weren’t brain dead , but sad knowing you weren’t going to wake up either. I held your hand and I was at ease because I knew it was time God needed another angel and he took the most loving human being there is. The week we spent in the hospital I didn’t wanna loose site of you I just wanted to hug you and cuddle forever, but the day came soon enough 11/11/11 and at 11:39am you were pronounced dead. Watching you take your last breath of life you were still fighting to live. I felt your heart thump and I jumped and 5 minutes later you took your last breath and your heart stopped. Your whole appearance changed for the better and that’s when I knew you were at peace. you are now relaxing with the daughter you always wanted to be with. Please, mom, watch over us and guide us in the right direction. Thank you for letting us be so strong. I’m truly thankful for every minute we shared with each other and I’ll be looking forward ’til the day we meet again. Rest in peace MOM! You will be missed.
