I thank heaven for the gift of my wonderful Uncle Mike. He taught me a lot about accepting what will be, will be, and accepting people for who they are, not for who someone else wants them to be. He taught me to try to take each day at a time, and he inspired me and encouraged me during the years my parents were dying.
I could not have wished for a better uncle, a person who really cared about other people, especially, the least, the lost and the last. I pray we shall all be reunited as a family in heaven some day.

Dear Dad ,
Though you may never have said it out loud .I know that you were really proud of what I have become. I owe who I now in part to you . Both the good and the bad experiences that I had as a children affect me , in one way or another. What I choose to do with the memories and lessons from my childhood determine what kind of adult live I have. Dad you helped to mold me into woman I am today, in one way or another. You did the best you could.
I believe finding the good in everyone, even those who cause pain, is the key, because they all have a lesson, if you are willing to accept it. I choose to live my life with love and forgiveness. I believe that our mistakes do not determine who we are.
It is important for me to say good-bye and to thank you for the wonderful live I now have. Through the good times and the bad, I've learned what kind of live I wanted to live as an adult. The price of love is grief- and today I grieve for the loss of my father whom I will miss .
