Another year has passed. You are not forgotten...... Galan

2 years passes quickly. I lost my closest brother 4 years ago, mom 3 years ago. We didn't talk much after I left palisade. Just the way life goes. I sit quietly at 60, lots of thoughts and memories left to playback.  Things lost, missed chances. I know you are enjoying a long rest after a stressful life.

I want to share with you My loving memory of Mary.
I remember her for her giggly laugh, beautiful smile, and how much she loved her mom, her baby girl Sherry, and her family.
Mary loved her little sisters so much. Tonya (Sister) was her best friend. Debbie, Joanne, and Jojo She treated and cared for them like they were her babies.
I have many memories but here are a few;
When Mary started kindergarten her mom Sherry asked me to walk Mary to school and would give me a quarter. That was a lot of money back in those days.
That was the beginning of a very special friendship.
Once we were playing together in the backyard. I was teasing her and laughing and then she hit me in the head with a kitchen strainer. I have the scar to this day, about an inch long. I probably needed stitches but Mecuricome cured everything. She used to love to hear this story over and over again and have me reenact it. She would laugh in her sweet giggly laugh.
Over the years I have thought and prayed for Mary every time I feel this raised scar.
We were together when we heard Elvis Presley died. She was drinking her Pepsi and wearing miss matched booties.
She was my maid of honor at my wedding.
We lost touch and after many years reconnected.
I could see the years of her pain had robbed her but, she talked about forgiveness and how much she loved her grandbabies. I loved hearing her cute laugh again.
Please don’t judge or remember her for the way she tried to cope with the pain in her life.
Mary was a loving, beautiful, happy, and precious little girl who should’ve never had to endure what she did. She did the best she could carrying the burden of a broken heart.
When I think of her mother Sherry and how much she loved her children and grandchildren. That love ran through Mary and runs through each and every one of you all. To have had her in your lives is a blessing and I hope that you all will carry love on through generations to come.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
I Peter 4:8
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Always and Forever
It would have been nice to have been notified to at least say goodbye. We shared many moments. Including some later in life. We created a beautiful girl. Mary was a free spirit in search of peace and her place in life. Too many took from Mary, so few gave. Mary didn't have any more kids after Sherry. She told me, only if she could have another with me. That would never be. I can't list all the memories here. Nor should I. My only regret was not being able to see you off. One email, one phone call. That would have been all. To the pretty girl who couldn't scream, you will always have a place with me. You will always be carried with me, as it has been for over 36 years now. Thank you for sharing some of your life and love with me.. Sleep. Rest.
