Dear Alessandra, your abuela was a wonderful, kind and funny person. I had the pleasure of helping your mommy and abuela move from Brooklyn, NY to Miami, FL many years ago. As you know, your mommy loves her animals and while my car was full of furniture and clothing your mommy's car was full of animals; dogs, a cat maybe even a bird. Of course that meant we had to stop A LOT but it gave us the time to talk and enjoy the long ride. I don't remember how your mommy and abuela managed to walk the dogs but avoid the cat getting out; I guess they were experts in managing pets! This is a wonderful memory I have of your mommy and abuela.
Although you no longer see your abuela in the way you were used too, she is still watching over you as you are her favorite person. She has moved on to a different phase, similar to when a caterpillar changes from being plain and wormy into a colorful butterfly. Look for her in everything that is beautiful, a rainbow, a butterfly, your big and loving heart. A big hug to you and your mommy xoxo.

My Mother, my friend, my hero. You were everything to me. You were my biggest fan and my confidant. Even when I didn't want to tell you, you already knew. You were a loving aunt, an amazing friend to so many. I didn't even know some of the things you had done for other people. You put them before yourself to help them. You were a hard worker, with a great work ethic that you tried to instill in me. You were funny, you loved to dance and had a laugh that was contagious. I thank you for everything you did for me, for us. My biggest consolation is that I was able to tell you that and I know you knew it until the end and I know you were proud of me because you also told me. No more pain Mami Thank you for enduring it for so long just to see Ale grow some. My heart is broken, as I knew it would be, but I will see you in her everyday. Everything including your spunk (backtalk included).
'Till we meet again...I love you.
