Dear Mom,today is Sunday May 25th, 2014. You have left us exactly one month and a day. We know that being creatures of habit, we would have wanted you to stay here with us forever, we know how you suffered with pain, but you always kept your Faith and your trust in Your God, knowing that one day it would be all over. I miss you sooooooooooooo very much. We all do. What hurts most, is that when I call home to Margaret and Ursula, my first words was always, "How is Puss doing today? did she have a good night or did she have a good day? Was she able to eat or drink anything and how much?" Now when I call, I have to put on a good front, so I cannot break down and upset them. Mom you know that we loved and still love you so much.and always will. There are no words to describe my love for you. You have always been my ROCK. When you left my house here in 2005 with Margaret and Winnie to go home to the doctors there, I did not come home on purpose because I could not bear to see you go, and it still haunts me all of these years, knowing that I could not do more to help you. I know that you being the Mummy that you were, you understood and never gave it a second thought. I wish that everyone in the world had a Mother and Father like we had. I know that we did not always do what was right, however, no one can hold you or Daddy responsible for us being contrary. I pray everyday, that God will keep me and my sisters and brother together, because that is the right thing to do.
I am going to sign off now, because I"m finding it hard to see the right keys. I will write to you again. So long for today.
Love FOREVER:
Clothilda,Cecil, Rupert, Ronald, Ricardo, Reece, Roscoe, Montello and Andrew
