Lentil soup, so simple. But never had another that matched hers(I like soups). I could have bowl after bowl... it’s such a simple soup but hers was just unmatchable; guess that was the touch of love. 

Recuerdo el día que me enseñaste a hacer el flans, Gracias !!!

Recuerdo el día que me enseñaste a hacer el Flans,  eso te lo debo a ti. Gracias !! 
Recuerdo que te levantaba antes que yo  a desayunar y encontrabas una Rosa  en la cocina y te burlabas de lo romántico de tu hijo. 
Hay tantas cosas porque recordarte.....  hoy solo puedo decirte! Gracias   y que cumpli  hasta tu ultimo día de lo que me pediste en vids . DESCANSA EN PAZ. 

Growing up we always were on the move. I remember when we would have to drive down to Miami almost every weekend for dads work. It didn’t matter if we arrived at 1Am or 2Am she was always there anxious at the door waiting for us with the biggest smile on her face. She always gave us the biggest hugs even though she’s always been pretty tiny. Her smile never failed to be there every weekend when we saw her. I love you abuela , I know you’ll be watching over us. 

I’ll always remember going to visit her in Miami for the first time after joining the military. She asked if I had a uniform with me to take a picture with and I said yes. Mind you the only one I had was our dress blues which are made of wool and it’s Miami in June. But we took our pictures and I remember her squeezing my arm so tight she didn’t want to let go so we took some more pictures then she gave me a hug and a kiss and said she was so proud of me and who I was becoming. I love you Abuela 

I always tell people what an amazing cook my grandma was, one of my favorite meals being her lentil soup with Cuban bread; afterward guava with cream cheese for dessert. One memory that I cherish is my most recent visit earlier this year. She wanted to watch tv so I flipped through the channels until I found a telenovela. I asked if she wanted some water, she said yes. I asked if I could sit with her while she watched tv, she said yes. I pulled up a chair and just sat next to her quietly. After a few minutes I looked over and saw her staring at me with a lot of intensity. I asked her if she knew who I was, she said yes. I asked her if she knew my name, she said Ana. I smiled and told her I loved her, she said it back; I gave her more water and went back to watching tv with her.

I will always remember my grandmother sewing clothes, blankets and curtains. It was her passion.  She loved to cook and I don't know how many times she had to sweep and mop the house before she felt it was done right.  She would sing us to sleep as little children and I'll always hear her voice when I think of "Duermete mi nina, Duermete mi amor". She was always a lady and had a kind heart. Love you abuela. I know you will be watching over us all.

My mother's life was identified for;
1) Her love for her family and friends
2) Her love and passion for sewing
3) Her love and passion for the kitchen she was a wonderful cook.
All of us that were part of her life were blessed to share our life with a beautiful, caring, and wonderful lady.
Rest in peace mom
Jose Artime

I will always remember my mom helping and caring for the family and friends.

Mis condolencias para la familia. Y que el Dios de todo consuelo le de paz en estos momentos difíciles. (2 Corintios 1:3,4)
