the only living girl in Chicago

I was missing everyone today. My friends that are scattered all over the world right about now and people that are no longer with us…Just missing their presence. I thought I heard my Abuela laugh today, it was the craziest thing, it made me smile. I think, I could be wrong, it’s the first time I’ve smiled thinking about my grandmother without shedding a tear. Of course when you’re missing you’re loved ones terribly is when the Universe hands you gifts— a text from S in Mississippi, an email from R in Luxenbourg, a phone call from P in Brooklyn all without my prompting…it’s beautiful a thing.

and that laugh, that beautiful, wonderful, magical sound.

 

Ah the fabulous life…

  1. ironically, I bet shes laughing as she reads your post as well. =)

    To the memory of those no longer with us.

    My sister passed away in a car accident on April 5, 2007.

    </3 broken hearts will heal with time.

  2. There is nothing worse than losing someone you love and never getting to see their smile again or laugh with them again…
    I don’t think I have been through anything more difficult in my life than that.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    To the memory of those no longer with us.

    To your sister.
