I tried to look into the camera and smile but I had been crying. I remember mom you told me to not be sad when this time came. That you would not be in any more pain. It's just how things transpired. The greedy traits that came out from those (they know who they are) who just wanted a handout and unfortunately purported professionals minus one scammer succeeded.  That is what makes me sad. That no one knew you. I take great satisfaction and comfort being your best friend and confidant. No matter how much hate was dished out by Adult Protective Services and Puget Sound Guardians, we won mom. Our love remained strong. Even that vile stunt at the hospital when their intentions could not be disrupted and then led me to believe I was not welcome back in the hospital. I didn't know where you were and every obstacle to keep us apart was in place. You were lucid the last time I saw you and it was not your time. You were tired mom.  I get it. I sure can't look at the trees or have coffee with any pleasure. We always did it together. May I see you again and we can play Scrabble. I can only hope that you are at rest  finally; it . gives me a little comfort. Don't worry about me. I will finish school. I love you Mama. I miss you so so much words can't describe. Bye for now . I hope you and Nana and Nina are together. All your family. ( nós estaremos juntos)

My best friend, sister, mother, you are deeply missed everyday. What happened to you was unjust and I hope you have found peace. Although hard for me to let go. I loved and love you and am humbled to have known you as a friend and not just a mother. Thank you.

Several things do. The autumn leaves when they change color. Hummingbirds, she loved to bird watch from her window. A perfume I can't remember the name of. The Mariners, scratch margherita's, reading novels, crossword puzzles, me trying to teach her how to do a google search. Everything I see, hear, smell reminds me of my mom every day and I miss her so much. She was my light at the end of every tunnel. I love you mom.
