Today....I cried

and I may cry tomorrow and the day after that. When dad called me this afternoon to give me the news, he didn't have to say much. It seems like I already knew what he was calling about. I could hear it in his voice. I felt sick to my stomach. And although its something we knew was going to happen sooner or later, it's still sad and painful. The only thing that comforts me at this point, is to know that she is now resting in peace.

I will always cherish all the memories I have of her. Especially when I stayed for almost 2 months with her in Susti back in 1998. She spoiled me. ( BIG TIME! ) She always made the soup I so much love. She made sure there was always soda in the fridge. She always made sure there were cookies or pan dulce on the table. We ate tacos in Jerez(well, I ate tacos in Jerez because she didn't like meat). She was funny when it came down to Fortino stopping by to say HI. She would always tell me, "pues que busca ese diablo de muchacho". I would always say, "no se (and smile)". Then she would smile back. She was just awesome. Oh...and she taught me how to knit. She was the best Grandma EVER! She will forever live in my heart.
