Tia, It makes me sad that we had to say goodbye so suddenly. Time is scarcely abundant. I'm glad your days were fulfilled with the love of your kids and grandchildren who will love you always and miss you dearly. You gained your wings and will be reunited with grandma at the pearly gates and that makes me happy knowing she will be there waiting for you. I will keep you in my heart and continue to keep your memories alive with my mom who will always feel a piece of her missing because of your absence. We love you Tia. May you rest in eternal peace.
Love you,
Veronica

THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD

June 29, 1971 at 9:26am, it was the moment you gave me life. It was the moment you held me and watched me take my first breath. You said, “He is mine, my big boy”. From that moment on, I became “mama’s big boy” and you were about to take me on an incredible journey in life.

As a little boy, I remember always being held in your arms so tight. I remember playing this game with you where you would say, “I love you, I love you, I love you!” in this really deep voice. Then I would try mimicking you in the same voice, “I love you, I love you, I love you”. I remember you asking me, “who’s mama’s big boy?” and I would reply, “me, me”. I felt so safe in your arms and so blessed with your motherly love. I knew I had the best Mom in the world.

Your love for your kids was so strong that through the good times and hard times, you always had your kids with you. I have vivid memories of us traveling to Mexico by ourselves and you struggling with the three of us. I remember walking with you at night to catch a bus, you holding my hand, me holding Elizabeth’s hand, all the while you were carrying Yvonne. I remember you at the sewing machine making us clothes because we didn’t have money for new ones. Despite the hard times, you had a way of turning them into memorable times with your singing. You were always singing to us and your voice was so beautiful, “Que Sera Sera”. I knew I had the best Mom in the world.

At a very early age you taught me to stand up for myself, not to be pushed around or be bullied. My first memory of this was when I was 4 years-old. I was outside playing in the front yard of the Emery house when a bigger kid hit me and made me cry. You saw this through the front window. When I tried to go into the house you locked the screen door and told me I couldn’t come into the house until I hit that kid back. You also taught me how to stand up for myself with words or as you would say, with “diplomacy”. You taught me to respect women and my elders. You never stopped teaching and molding me. I knew I had the best Mom in the world.

As a youth, you encouraged me to try new things and to try my best. You always encouraged me to “go for it”. When I would get an award at school I could see how proud you were of me. I could hear your voice cheering for me at award assemblies. I remember you helping me with my posters when I was running for Student Body President in elementary school. I remember when I won how you bragged to everyone. I remember you sitting in the bleachers at my little league games cheering for me as I pitched. I could hear your voice yelling, “strike him out!” You always had a way of making me feel good about my accomplishments and performances. I knew I had the best Mom in the world.

In my early teens, the dances and girls came. You taught me about chivalry. I remember you making me go outside to help the neighbor ladies get their groceries out of their cars. I remember my first dance, I think you were more excited than I was. You took me shopping for clothes and taught me how to act. You made sure I was well groomed and my clothes ironed. When I got back dance you’d ask if I danced and I’d say, “no” I only know how to break dance. Mom you tried to teach me how to dance, but in Junior High they didn’t dance cumbias or corridos. Mom you always tried to guide me through the many stages of my teen years. I know at times I frustrated you, but you never love wavered. I knew I had the best Mom in the world.

Mom, in my early stages of adulthood you let me find my own way in the world. You trusted me to make good decision and trusted that I applied all you taught me about life. Although, I struggled, had my ups and downs, made poor decision and lost my way, you were always there for me. You never judged me, you always hugged me and you always loved me. I knew I had the best Mom in the world.

A few months ago, I was leaving for work and you were standing on the porch watching me l eaveas you always did. You said, “I’ll get the gate for you mijo” and I said, “It’s ok mom I got it”. As I was closing the gate, you looked at me with glossy eyes and let out a sigh. Then in the most sincere voice you said, “Mijo thank you for being my son”. At that moment, I had this eerie feeling come over me. As I drove off, I could not help but cry because I knew those words were telling something more. I now know what you were telling me, but I tell you this Mom, “Don’t thank me, thank you!, thank you for being my Mom, thank you for raising three beautiful children, thank you for teaching us, thank you taking care of us, thank you for loving us, and thank you for being the best Mom in the world.

Mom, you gave life to three beautiful children, you taught us to take care of each other, respect each other and love each other. I know you were proud of the relationship your children have with each other. I know you were proud of all our accomplishments. I know you left us knowing that you did an awesome job raising your children. I know the legacy you built will live forever, through your children, grandchildren and so on. Your legacy will be one that is worth more than any winning lottery ticket could ever be. Your legacy will be that you were the best Mom in the world.

Mommy, on January 24, the same day the good Lord took Grandma back to his kingdom, he opened up his gates and let Grandma come for her baby girl, but before Grandma took you home, we were blessed to have been there with you. We were blessed to have been able to hold your hand and kiss you. We were blessed to have been able to tell you that we love you. We were blessed to have the best Mom in the world.

Love Mama’s Big Boy
