I can't believe it's been four years, but I've felt your presence. I wish I'd gotten more time with you. I tried so hard to make everything right. As you know, I'm pretty sick myself, but Ive never given up. Some things you can't control. I love you and just know that you are one special lady that I'll never forget.. Thank you for the honor of knowing you beautiful soul...

Rita, I just want you to know that I finally get it! I could never let go and I never will. I have never had anyone love me or know me as well as my little ditto! She is going through such a hard time right now and I believe in her so much. She is strong and I give you my word that when she feels weak, I will be her strength. I will make her believe once again that true love will never die. She is my hopes, my dreams and the one I want to grow old with... Thank you for all your insight. I listened...

Hello Rita. Today i had an epiphany. More Changes must be made. moving forward but im not ready. I miss her and I can't tell her. she misses me too. I can feel her. More so these past few days.

My dearest one. I have over fifteen hundred photos on my phone. Yet not long ago, as I was going to use the camera and opened the app, there you were. It astounded me at first but I knew why. It's official. It's over and I am relieved. At this point friendship is all I can be to anyone. I have accepted whatever is meant for me in my life. Guess things will all fall in place the way god wants to. You always told me running on self will can be destructive. I learned that the hard way. Not once, but twice and will do what you told me to do all along. Be still and the one to be will find me. Part of me hopes so.

Happy Birthday Rita. You touched my life in many ways and I'm so grateful. You never held back. I never forgot anything you told me. I came back a much better person and went with my heart, just as you told me. I guess it wasn't meant to be. Just wanted you to know you made a huge impact on me. I wish I'd gotten to know you better beautiful lady.....

Didn't forget your birthday. It was also a day I was re-born and blossomed throughout the years as a better person because of you. You saved me from myself and for that and many more, I'm Eternally thankful to you. Love and miss you my Reety.

Hearts were broken to lose you...You didn't go alone. Part of many went with you, the day God called you home. Although my happiness is grand that you are with God, I still weep and miss you very much my dear friend.
August 30, 2012
You've always guided me toward the right direction. Please help guide those I love who are spiritually broken. Let them feel your kind spirit, touch their hearts and let them know that all will be well. To have faith and believe in themselves that they have the power within and deserve to be loved and have happiness. Please help wipe away their inner struggles and ease some of their pain. This is my prayer today. Please pass it on to God as well my friend. Missing you.
June 6, 2012
I miss you my friend.

Happy Mother's Day.
March 8, 2012
I'm so shaken. Turned on Computer screen and to my surprise there was a full picture of you. There you were with your sunglasses and just looking at me. I remember taking that photo. This picture is stored. No way is this a coincidence. I don't know why. Maybe I'm to wait. I don't know my guardian angel. I need your guidance for I have so much I'm holding inside and I don't know what to do.
March 7, 2012
You always had the right words to help ease my pain. It's been a rough road lately. I know your spirit will guide me. It has before.

Many cards with words of love are written for this day. Yet I need not one to simply say; you are forever a special Valentine to those who love you, for your love for them was... Infinite. Love and miss you dear friend. Happy Valentines Day.

At a crossroads Rita. No matter which way I go I know you would disagree. Just the thought of your reactions to me and my life decisions makes me smile

Well Reety, I did it again. Got home and noticed I had tag hanging outside my new jacket. Just like that time I went for an interview & you said laughingly, that I might not get the job 'cause I forgot to cut the tag. Mom cut it and laughed. Yes It reminded me of that day. I can picture you laughing now. Miss that laughter of yours.

Well, I took some suggestions that really messed things up. I didn't go with my heart. You always told me I don't listen.

Although I know all is well in heaven, it still has not eased the pain and tears of missing you. Been feeling very alone lately. Sheltered. No one to comfort my pain. No one to help me solve. No one to just say you're going to be OK. Miss you today more than ever.

By now you've welcomed Donovan to heaven. I know you'll look after him. He was so young. We are all in shock.

There are moments in life when I wish she could come down from Heaven. Spend the day just one more time, give her one more hug, kiss her goodbye or hear her voice again. One more chance to say; "I love you". It's a lonely world without Reety.

One yr ago today, is when her pain ended and mine began. She was sent off into the ocean which she loved so. i know she's ok. i'm happy she's an angel now and no longer suffering. i just miss her so much. so i go out for drives to feel my feelings, talk to her & let my tears out in my silent world.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go. They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole.
They give me comfort when I think I am all alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you, my precious one, that forever will I keep.
Seven (7) months in Gods glory. How I miss my REETY so.
The smile of a beautiful person. (Reety)

God smiled upon her birth, for he knew he sent an angel in disguise, for many to learn, to help them follow a path of spirituality and love toward others. She believed in them until they believed in themselves....Her mission was not without its' difficulties. She encountered opposition and endured pain along the way....Yet her stamina to endure such, she accepted. She accepted as once she had spoken, "Jesus suffered more than I".....
God smiled again when heavens door opened and he embraced her with his love. As the angels began to sing, beautiful white wings emerge upon her shoulders. It was then those beautiful blue eyes twinkled as always when she smiled, for she knew her mission was complete, and she finally went home to God..RMC021911 Miss you so much Reety.

2 Year old Phoenix said he talked to Grandma Rita this week. Didn't really come as that much of a surprise to me. Phoenix was really happy about your visit.

It's been 5 months now since those wings were earned and still for her I yearn... Yearning for that soft voice full of reassurance, love, understanding, and compassion, when I'm experiencing difficult moments such as today. Although I can't see her, I feel her gentle spirit trying to comfort me, letting me know that it's going to be OK. I miss my Reety so much.
There's a party in Heaven.

Sometimes people part from our lives for one reason or another. Sometimes, some things were left unsaid or undone, only to later wish time would wind itself back. Realizing it is too late, one is left behind questioning themselves why? Those unspoken words or moments that were once retain, are not to ever be shared with that someone...It is one of two emotions that shall forever remain embedded deep within, throughout ones very own existence...Regret or guilt...... Perhaps both.....RMCamacho...Oct 30th, 2010.. Reety & I had neither. Our loving friendship was unlike any other. We were a team. I have been blessed to have experienced such unconditional love that few have ever known. A love that has left an imprint in my heart to show the same toward some, I may encounter along my life journey. What a blessing indeed.

God saw you getting tired & a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you & whispered "come with me." With tearful eyes I watched you & saw you pass away. Although I love you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, a loving soul at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me...he only takes the BEST!!!
Three months have come and gone, still the tears don't go away.. One thing I truly know, you're smiling from above, no longer feeling pain.. Miss you so much Reety.

I remember riding the bus with her in Puerto Rico to San Juan. When the bus driver asked where we were going she said "Old Jose" instead of "San Juan" it was hilarious. I remember so many good and funny times with Rita.

My dear, sweet, loving friend Rita,
I have such fond memories of sharing time with you, all the fun and crazy things we did together, vacationing with you in Puerto Rico, having coffee with you, helping each other out in times of no money, and the kind and tender friendship we shared over the years. You touched my life and my heart in so many special ways. I am a better person as a result of having known you. I still have the angel you gave me years ago. Your spirit will live forever and your memories will always bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face. May you reside in peace always with God.

My Dear sweet mother,
For all the years you tried to protect us,loved us and everyone so unconditionally,how could I EVER want anyone but YOU my sweet Mother "ANGEL",you now have your wings that you have been waiting for and for such a long time.I know that you are HAPPY now and in no more pain and just having a great time with the rest of our loved ones,but I can not help waking every morning fixing my coffee and waiting to settle down to call you every day like we use to,or sometimes I pick up the phone to just give you a call when I remember you are with God.You told me that you couldn't die before God helped you help me find a good man to be there for me and the kids,not only did he find a GOOD man but one that neither of us could of EVER dreamed could exist,he truly is my Angel your "SON" who loves you so dearly. Thank you for that prayer,and thank you for hanging on until our wedding on 07/04/2010,I knew then your job was done and you were ready to go home.Momma thank you for letting me know and everyone else that exsperienced it that you are still watching over us and being the prankster that you are. As for your son Nathan,he LOVED it.As I do when you show me that you are ok.All I know is that I will keep my promise to you,I will ALWAYS be a good/great wife to Nathan,a great mom and to always take care of my health which I have been doing I know that you are watching so that I can grow old with Nathan and raise our kids together.But the day I look forward to the most is the day that God calls upon me and you will be there with your beautiful blue eyes and smile with your arms out to hold me once again.You are my heart momma,and will be in it for the rest of my life.My mother,my friend,my ANGEL,your loving daughter Tammy.
