The days will get easier

Well since the last time I have blogged, there have been some changes in our life. My mother-in-law passed away Jan. 2, 2011. A truly unexpected loss. She was ill and had recently gone through several surgeries. She came out of those surgeries with flying colors and was doing so well. It was a great loss for our family because she was such a big part of our lives this past year.

Hector has held up extremely well and has been very strong. Samantha is doing well too, but I know there will be days that will come that will be sad to them both. It has been years since I have lost my grandparents and there are times I see something or pick up something that reminds me of them and a tear comes to my eyes.

I am just so glad that Samantha was old enough to have the memories she shared with her. The other day she told me "mom whenever I hear this song from Miley Cryus it reminds me of grandma." I made me tear, but also made me feel good that Samantha has something she will share with her grandma when she needs to reach out to her.

Love you Rosa.
