Oh, Abuela! I miss you so much. I wish that I would have been able to hold your beautiful, alive face in my hands just one more time and tell you how much I love you. Even though I know that you knew how much we all loved you it is still difficult to not have been there during your final hours and minutes. I know that there is a reason for everything and I may never know why I couldn't be there. December 3rd is another day- A HARD ONE- I will see your lifeless, spiritless body tomorrow and I pray that God helps me to get through the pain. I love and will always love you. Yolie and family
