My dearest Lola. As I try to think of my most sacred intimate moment with you, all were memoriable but the most precious and powerful one was most recent. I brought my oldest son Gabriel to see you last week in the ER and your breathing was pretty tough. As I stood there talking to dad, I looked over to see you and you had this huge smile on your face and you chuckled. Gabriel was holding your hand and smiling and gazing into your eyes. Though no words were exchanged, I feel the two of you were carrying on, playing and walking in the clouds. I am crying as I write this, but they are tears of joy. I have loved you since the day you stepped off that plane 30 years ago, and will love you throughout my days here on earth. I will see you again, standing by our father, and I will be the one, carrying on, playing and walking with you in the clouds. I love and miss you so much!!!
