Today is a sad day for me, it is the first year that I will spend without my mom, she passed away last New Year's Eve.
I can celebrate the passing of the old year into the new year, but it will never be the same for me.
I will always recall the found memories I have of mom.
Every New Year's Eve she had to have 12 grapes and we all had to have them cause it was tradition.
She use to say, 'One grape, sweet and ripe, picked from the earth, to give you life. One grape for every month of the New Year to fill you with sweetness and full of cheer.'
Her name was Josepha Sanchez, she was the light that held my family together.
Since she has been gone, the family that she so loved has drifted far apart.
For her I shead the tears that I do not normally shead for others when they pass.
She bore nine children into this world.
Married when she was only 13 (a child herself), to a man 10 years her senior.
There marriage lasted a life time, he was the love of her life.
After his death, Mom was never the same.
Though she went on with her life from day to day, she missed him more then life itself
If she could have died when dad did, Mom would have, but she out lived him by 11 years and died at the same age as he did, 71.
Mom I really miss you very much. The long conversations we use to have on the telephone.
The late night calls when you could not sleep and needed just to hear one of your childrens voice
The chinese dinners that you loved so much, even though I did not care for chinese food that much.
The spanish concerts that you use to drag us to, even though we protested that it was not our type of music, we still had a great time
Your laughter and the smile that use to light up your face and make your dark brown eyes glow with life.
The bingo nights that you so loved to go to, even though you hardly ever won.
I miss you Mom, more then I can put into words.
More then I ever thought that I would.
My heart cries for my loss and leaps with joy because I had you in my life.
I look at your picture and smile, remembering the good and the bad times we shared.
I hope to see you again one day Mom, but not to soon cause I still have a lot of living to do.
I hope that you are happy were ever you are.
I love you Mom, now and always, from here to the end of time.
Till we meet again Mom, know that you were loved,
that you are still loved and that you will live forever in my heart.
Hugs and Kisses Mom, and a pinch or two here and there. LOL
Love Always YOur Daughter

Sad that I don't write here much, and when I do its about something sad.
Two of my cats passed away and I am heart-broken, I had them since they were babys. They were beautiful and loved me unconditionaly
I know ppl wonder how can one get so attached to a pet, especially a cat. But it happens just like one gets attached to a baby, or a boyfriend, or girlfriend. We all love in our own ways, and so do our pets. They don't judge us, or yell at us. or call us names. All they want to do is show you that they love you and hope that you love them back just as much.
To my babies, cause they were my babies, I pray that they are at peace and in a better place. I hope that they are running free, chasing birds and butterflies, but not hurting them. I hope that one day I will see them again when my time comes to depart this world that I have grown to love so much. Until then my babies, I wish you love.
This diary is not empty any more, but it is still sad. I am sad. I am upset. I am crying. I don't know what I did to piss off my friends. I guess maybe I should just stay away from here for a while.
