You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
Do you know, dear,
How much I love you?
So please don’t take
My sunshine away.
My grandpa used to sing this song to my grandmother, and it now has become a tradition. This was one of the last songs that my mom and I sang together. Forever in my heart mom. Love you to the moon and back. Until we meet again!
Fly high! Fly free!
You now have the wings of eternity!

Today is your birthday. I still talk about you with my friends, When mom and I go to Safeway, the top part of the shopping cart always feels oddly empty since we stopped shopping for you. Despite your health, you always knew how to joke around and keep a smile on your face. You always felt bad for asking us for help but I would do it all over again for you, come Hell or high water. I still feel like you're just a five minute walk away and I will keep your memory alive forever.
Rest easy <3

To the neighbor/friend I'll never forget.
You always had the smile that would brighten up the room and make me laugh. I always enjoyed our conversations we had. I miss you. May you rest in peace. ❤️
