My mechu, my Delicate Flower, will always be remembered by her beautiful smile. The funny expressions when she didn't like something or someone. I'm so thankful to have care for her and to have built so many beautiful memories in the last 14 yrs. Taking care of her was like taking care of my child, the roles changed and I adjusted to give my unconditional love. Mom loved when I did her nails, and always reminded me in her special way when she was do for a hair cut, even on days that I was exhausted, I made sure to give her hair cut and she would be so happy, my son would do the hair line to make sure it was even and of course she would want to give him a hard time, she loved to pick on him..we would laugh when Ariel would try to speak spanish to her and she would give him the look and then smile too. We need to make to give her a mirror, she needed to look at herself and would give me that beautiful smile of appreciation. She will be missed and thinking of the holidays ahead makes me so sad, it will be extremely difficult this year but I know she will always be in our hearts.
