Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

September 2, 2009

I lost my only son and in spite of the way he chose to live his short life it didn’t matter, because I loved him. Even though the days and nights are the same and time seems to stand still, I miss him. The cruel and sour feeling in the middle of my stomach that I feel even now as I write, God let me have him back. With grief as my constant companion now it’s like being in the dark when the sun is shining so brightly. It is excruciating hopelessness, when there is hope. And even though I am not alone I feel so lonely like a void that you know can never be filled, he’s not coming back. Grief is when I cry in silence.

Mijo,
I am still having a God aweful time with you being gone. It's not fair you weren't supposed to go before me. But I guess the Almighty up above needed a soldier and you were the one. Even on earth you had all the qualities of a soldier. You impressed everyone that had the priviledge to be in your presence. You are missed and loved by so many and I know you will be there as a soldier to look over and protect them.
From the time you were in my belly I loved you! I miss everything about you the good and the bad. I promise to cherish every moment I had with you and to never allow your legacy to be forgotten especially for Mari G. She is the greatest gift you could of ever left us with, thank you! A constant reminder of you!

Mijo, you are always on the mind and in my heart. I love you!

DRAE -
I JUST READ EVERY ONES ENTRIES FROM THE DAY YOU PASSED. READING THEM JUST REALLY HIT ME AND BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. LOSING YOU WHILE I WAS LOCKED UP REALLY TOOK A TOLL ON ME. I BLAME MYSELF SO MUCH FOR NOT BEING THERE. LIKE MAYBE SOMTHING DIFFERENT WOULD OF HAPPENED THAT DAY HAD I BEEN THERE. THERES A VERY SHARP PAIN IN MY HEART FROM NOT HAVING YOU AROUND ANY MORE. SOMETIMES I JUST RELAX IN MY ROOM WHEN I WAKE UP, LAY IN MY BED WHILE LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING AND REMINICE ON THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES WE HAD. YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND MY FAMILY EVERY SINCE I WAS A LITTLE BOY. THEREFOR I NOT ONLY CLAIM YOU AS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND BUT AS A BIG BROTHER WHO I LOOK UP TO. AS THE DAYS GO BY I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO HAVE YOU AROUND TODAY. WOULD THINGS BE THE SAME OR WOULD THEY BE DIFFERENT? I GUESS THAT WILL ALWAYS BE AN UNANSWERED QUESTION. I REMEBER THE DAY MY MOM CAME IN THE VISITATION ROOM AND TOLD ME YOU HAD PASSED. IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO GET IT OUT OF HER BECAUSE SHE DIDNT WANT TO TELL ME. I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN SHE WALKED IN BECUASE SHE WAS QUIET AND I COULD JUST READ IT ON HER FACE THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. ALTHOUGH SHE TRIED SO MUCH NOT TO SHOW IT SHE JUST BROKE DOWN IN TEARS AND TOLD ME YOU HAD DIED. THAT MOMENT MY MIND STARTED SPINNING MOVING A HUNDRED MILES A MINUTE. I COULDNT EVEN SHED TEARS AT THAT MOMENT BECAUSE I FELT SO ANGRY. SO MANY QUESTIONS STARTED RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD LIKE WHEN WHERE WHO AND WHY. BUT WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY CELL I CURLED UP IN MY BED AND CRIED LIKE BABY. CRYING FOR HOURS GOING DAYS WITHOUT SLEEPING. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY AND HOW GOD COULD TAKE A CLOSE FRIEND FROM ME WHILE ALREADY IN A TOUGH SITUATION. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS CUT OUT YOUR OBITUARY AND TAPE IT TO MY WALL. MAN BRO JUST THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES ME SAD. THERES STILL SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY TO YOU AND SO MUCH I WANT TO ASK. WHATS CRAZY IS YOUR NOT ONLY CLOSE WITH STEVE AND I WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS BUT OUR WHOLE FAMILY GOT CLOSE TO YOU LIKE YOU WERE ONE OF US. YOU WERE ONE OF THEM FRIENDS THAT COULD WALK IN MY HOUSE FOR ANYTHING AT ANY TIME. ONE WHO IF NEEDED ANY THING MY FAMILY WOULD GIVE WHAT THEY COULD. MAN DRAE HOW DID THIS ALL HAPPEN. I KNOW YOUR IN HEAVEN BRO SO I HOPE YOUR WATCHING OVER EVERY ONE YOU POSSIBLY CAN. I KNOW WE WILL MEET AGAIN. THATS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES IT EASY SOMETIMES WHEN THINKING ABOUT YOU. SOME PEOPLE SAY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG BUT FOR YOU THAT WAS WAY TOO EARLY. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED BY EVERY ONE YOUR LIKE A NEVER FORGOTTEN LEGEND.(LOL) OK MAYBE THAT WAS A LITTLE TO MUCH YOU PROLLY GOT A BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE HEARING THAT. THERES STILL SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY BUT I'LL END IT HERE. YOU ARE MISSED FOREVER AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

P.S I REALLY REALLY MISS MY DAWG

I LOVE AND MISS YOU BRO

Dear Andrae,
This may be the last day for us to write in your memory book but your memory will be forever in all our hearts everyday,always.You are so missed by so many .I dont think a day passes that Mari dont talk about you she misses you so much she has a bear she sleeps with she named it after you. I took her to the park the other day she was so sweet she asked me to swing her really high on the big girl swing (not the baby ones anymore) so she could be closer to the sky , she then just started talking away to you ,she knows you hear her, she talked all day about you,her and mommy and how you used to always go to the park:) She looks exactly like you with her big eyes and smile you would be so proud of her.Everyone celebrated your birthday you have some really great friends. Melissa misses you terribly she is doing as best she can .You would also be proud of her she is back in colledge and keeping herself strong for Mari. May you rest in peace and know we all miss you
Love Dawn

Andrae,
This message is to tell you that I miss you alot. I don't understand why God took you home so soon, but I do know that you were special to me! Things happen and we don't understand why? We never had a chance to say Goodbye.But I know you will always remember the short time we spent together. You left me with a special Angel, Mariana and I know you will always be looking down on her and Melissa. She looks more and more like you as time goes on! And she will Always be taken care of, I promise you that. Melissa and Mari are so special to you and me. But I know God has a plan for you! Someday we'll see each other again, until then you are in all our hearts.
With Love,
Nini

Melissa Ruiz

July 19, 2008

Wow, where do I begin?? Its almost been a whole year and I still can't believe your really gone. Losing you has taken a toll on my life in ways I could have never imagined. I Miss you on so many levels. As a friend, just talking to you about life in general and feeling comfortable enough to tell you anything. Growing with each other and becoming adults and parents experiencing lifes battles together. In an intimate way, the only Man in my life since I was such a young girl. It was you I turned to when I needed advice.

Its crazy how you can know one person so well. You knew me at times before I even knew myself. But you would also trip out on how I could finish your sentences. You would always say that I knew you like the back of my hand!

Mariana... is so much your personality! She makes facial expressions just like you, she loves the same foods as you, she loves the dang cottage cheese from Pizz Hutt (Member you used to have me steal you some all the time when I worked there) she has a sweet tooth.... she has your temper no doubt! And if she was any more stubborn.... She has your beautiful big brown eyes and your smile that could light up a room. She walks like you, her feet are flat footed like yours, her posture is even like you.. her belly sticks out just like yours. She blinks her one eye exactly the same way you did, and she misses you .... I haven't had one day yet where she has not asked about you or talked about you. She loves to look at all your pictures over and over again. She still evens knows your voice... we have your songs on cd and we listen to them all the time in the car. She know your parts and will say thats my Daddy every time before you come on! She LOVES music, if you could see her sing it would make your heart melt!

I try my best to stay strong but ... its a battle every day! I am definately a different person today than I was a year ago. I cherish all of our memories, the good, the funny, and even the bad ones! I could never Thank you enough for all the things you taught me about life. I have no regrets and if I could do it all over again... I would! You always told me that you felt that I was your soul mate... but that you weren't mine... its so weird!!
Id rather have you here but I know your in a better place. You will forever be my first love and you will always have a piece of my heart, which could never be replaced. I think I will always have this empty feeling until the day I join you in Heaven. I Love and miss you unconditionally Babe. I will forever be grateful that I had the chance to share so many years of my life with you. May you rest in Peace my Love

To a special young man who I have a alot of respect for who grew up too fast and became a man too young, God bless you, I miss you sobrino. Even though I didn't see much as an adult, I always had you in my thoughts and prayers. For what you knew you learned to be a good father on your own and I admire that. I recently found many photos of YOU when you were younger, and in every photo you are either smiling or making faces, thats how I remember you, always trying to make others laugh, that was you, Andrae I know I never told you this but I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU and proud to say I'm your UNCLE. May you rest in peace and be with GOD. LOVE your uncle Jorge S. Rocha

I know I never met you but if I had I would have wished you the best in life and what life had to offer. I knew you sister Alto and only wish the best for her. In life we can only do the best we can and hope that one day we can be happy. I know losing someone is hard but just knowing that they are with God and no longer suffering or in pain brings such commfort. I know that as time goes by some of the broken hearts you left behind will heal, but the memories you left behind will last forever. Watch over your mother and sisters and help to guild them in the right direction. Peace be with you and your family.

August 22, 2007

Andrae~
I know this is a day late, but I am sure you know I was up to my neck in Whoppers yesterday! (I can totally see you laughing at that one) I wanted to wish you a happy birthday! This is your Golden Birthday and all I could think about was how you were so excited about turning 21, and how I would make fun of you for finally being a big boy this year.
I miss you so much, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wonder why you were taken from everyone who loves you so soon.You were a bright young man with a wonderful future in store and so many plans for yourself. There are so many things that I am going to miss: those dimples, eternal smile, and laugh. The way you could turn any bad situation into a funny one. Your ability to make everyone you met fall in love with your personality. But I think most of all I will miss coming to work and hearing "What up Bobcat" on a daily basis. Thank you so much for listening to me when Ray and I experienced our loss. I never told you that, but it meant so much to me to have someone listen and not say anything which is exactly what you did.
Although you only worked with us for a short time, I just want to let you know that you had an impact on our lives. I am going to miss being your boss, listening to you sing while doing the dishes, drawing funny pictures of our co-workers together and laughing at all my dumb jokes. You always had a way of cheering me up even in the worst situation (like dollar double cheeseburger sales and the awful dreaded Sunday shift when at least one person would call off). Work just isn't the same without you kiddo!
Rest in peace Andrae.You are so missed and the world is lost without you.

~Bobcat

I keep thinking as the days go on that I will finally think of the right words to say but as the days pass I have come to find that is not true. I only knew you for a few months but during that time I found out what an amazing person you were. You were always there to do or say something funny, I can’t seem to forget about the filled ketchup bottles in the sink that you had submerged under sanitized water because you just washed the outsides or how you had to get your hair cut like every 4 days! I know that you were looking forward for today but don’t worry Bobcat and I will help try to make up for it. It’s amazing how much love people can have for one person and it has definitely shown. Happy 21st birthday Andrae, you will never be forgotten.

Andrae, i know you in a better place now but it is sad to know your gone. People say that you go when its your time but i cant believe that about someone so young and full of life like you. I pray you family can get through this time with peace and love. I remember all the times when we were all younger and we all used to just have fun like we didnt care what no one else thought. but im glad we all did because i get to keep those memories forever. My heart goes out to your family, your daughter and your special love. R.I.P. love always.

Happy 21st Birthday Mijo, I Love You!
This is the hardest thing I have ever had to endure....my heart aches soooo bad! You meant the world to me, my only son. The pain right now is unbearable words can't even describe. But I know that God's love, mercy and time will heal my broken heart.
I had such a difficult pregnancy with you, not only did I throw up everyday (no lie) but my water bag broke and I never went into labor till a month later for nearly 24 hrs. plus you were premature. Wow, you sure put me through one. You were determined to come into this world and it was the happiest day of my life.
You, me and your sisters went through sooo much trials and tribulations together...but the unforgetable happy moments we shared always overcame the difficulties.
Thank you for blessing us with Mari G, I was amazed at how strong and calm you were when Meliss was having her. You were awesome baby!
My proudest moment was when I convinced you to go to Owens Community College. Even though you never made it past the seventh grade you still managed to score high on your placement test. you were always incredibly intelligent and just sooo intriqueing!
The last most beautiful thing I remember you telling me, "Ma, you have been my angel, I don't know what it is, but everytime I see you, you glow." I'll never forget those words mijo.
For all the times I worried about where you were...but not no more shall I worry or be in fear of where you are, for you are praising Our Heavenly Father up above... and with me in spirit, mind and soul.
Andrae Miguel Olguin, my gorgeous son, "Mi Angel De La Guardia."
I will painfully miss you but I know we will be together again!
Love, Mom
P.S. Thank you everyone for your prayers, thoughts and support for me and my Fam, may The God Most High bless you and your Fams and may our beloved Andrae be your "Guardian Angel." Peace

To lose a child is NEVER easy, we can't believe your gone Drae, but now that your gone you are in a better place to rest. Your family is in our prayers.

Luisa Anaya

August 14, 2007

I know how it feels to lose someone, the way your heart physically hurts, the lump that forms in your throat that makes it hard to swallow when you hear those words, the shock your body and mind goes through that makes it difficult to imagine or think and move forward. Time can NEVER replace this person. Everyday will never be the same. One thing I learned that there isn’t anything that will make you feel better or make it go away. My heart is still broken and it hurts! And Yet through all this God has found me. He hears your cries and unimaginable as it may be He feels your pain. If you think about it how could he not, it’s just so vast, no one human being can endure all by himself.

May u find peace and comfort with God, Dre. I am sorry I can't be there and I pray to God to forgive u of all your sins.

To his friends and family,
God will find you, you are not lost! And He will do everything He can to console you. You just have to watch out for Him, listen, and pray.

Just do me a favor until then and watch over my little boy, and I'll make sure I do the same for you with your daughter. I'll see you Bro. R.I.P. Drae

Andrae, my first love, my best friend, my partner, my soldier, my "babbie daddie", my guardian angel. I sill can't believe that your gone! I don't think that I really ever will. Words can't even express the way I feel! I love you for so many reasons! I admire you for your clever mind, your fast thinking, your sense of humor, your such a goofball! You always seen things for what they really were when I did'nt, You always gave me the best advice, you always knew how to make me laugh. We grew up together, we matured together, we became parents together. I have so many memories that I will cherish forever! You took a piece of my heart with you and it will NEVER be replaced! I know your in heaven watching over me and Mari G, I can feel your presence surrounding us. I know your happy now, peaceful, not struggling, chillin up in heaven. I'm gonna miss your stinky feets, your sexy dimples, your big puppy dog eyes but I know I will see you again! Mariana, she loves her DADDY and she will NEVER forget you! I love you Babe (with all seven hearts) Our memories will remain in our hearts forever!
