Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective; this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God. We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend. I think that the answers are so simple; so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it.

I HATE BREAST CANCER!!!!!
Last night, my friend Janet L. informed me that her breast cancer is BACK! Spread into her lungs. She will fight, she will fight HARD, and she WILL win. I will SMILE like nothing is wrong. Talk like everythings PERFECT. Act like it's just a DREAM & pretend like nothing touches me.

"Aplogize" One Republic
I'm sorry that I wasn't more direct & I'm sorry that I didn't push you harder. I'm sorry that I didn't check up on you closely and more frequently. I'm sorry that I didn't look at every label or researched harder. I'm sorry that I didn't look for alternatives or even notice that there was a serious problem. I'm sorry that I didn't yell at you or speak up for you. I'm sorry that I didn't have the cure. It's too late....to apologize. I AM SORRY!

Beautiful in My Eyes / Joshua Kadison
my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
And my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.

Mom, I am a 41 year old woman and still when I hear your voice I turn into this child and am filled with so much love and joy remembering that you are in my life. I love what I turn into when my thoughts take me to you. How I could have been so fortunate all those years ago. Thank you for your love and the comfort you provided me when I lost my friend Carolyn. Nothing takes the pain away but remembering that I have the hope in seeing her again and the fact that I still have you present gives me much comfort. I don’t have the right words to express to you, your consoling words as I shared with you the passing of my father. You have been at the core of my despair when I lived with no hope of ever finding peace. You wrapped your arms around me many years ago and as of yet have not let go. You are truly an amazing woman! I know no other like you. After all that I have been through you continue to show love, and patience. Thank you for reminding me that I am too a child, I am very proud to be yours.
Love your daughter,
Sandra

Jose Isabel Castro 1942 ~ 2009
His services went well, practically all the family was there, on both sides. I can't get over the fact that Marcos and I both lost our fathers in less than a year. I remember talking to my dad about my suegro and how unfortunate his loss has been. Now that I look back it's kind of earie that his time was coming up and there he was consoling me and Marcos. It just doesn't seem real to me. Many years ago Marcos had a conversation with my dad, where my dad was questioning if anyone would bother showing up to his funeral. Marcos after a long pause exclaimed "don't worry, I'll be there" my dad laughed and the conversation was over. He would have been happy to know that his childhood friends were also present. There was word in his hometown of El Cerrito Pelon (Atolinga), Zacatecas Mex. of his passing. There was a service done on his behalf. They said that the capilla was full of family and friends. ~Sandra
I love you too!!!! Be strong in the truth that your dad is now in peace.....ay San.....I.....how can I say that.......its so difficult to say words of enlightment to someone who has lost a loved one, especially a parent!!!! I think I would be torn apart and inconsolable!!!! The thought of not seeing them again etc etc, a missing person in our life!!!! So what I'd rather say is....YES SANDRA, CRY..... CRY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT FOR YOUR LOSS!!!!! AFTER ALL HE WAS YOUR DAD!!!!! CRY YOUR EYES OUT UNTIL ALL THAT PAIN YOU FEEL IS EXHAUSTED AND YOU CANT CRY NO MORE, BECAUSE THIS TOO SHALL PASS, AND YOU WILL SEE LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY AND WILL BE RENEWED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...DONT HOLD BACK THE TEARS, THE ANGER, THE SADNESS YOU FEEL, MOURN HIM, HE WAS SPECIAL TO YOU!!!!! I love you and want you to know that the distance between us is only metric, because I feel you close to my heart always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!!!

"Jose Isabel Castro" went to sleep on July 19th, 2009
No imagine este dolor que siento
Son muchas las cosas que pasaron
Yo no se que dirán por allí
Pero lo único que importa
Es que te perdí por un momento
Una niñez mala vivida
Per mi consuelo es
Que volveré a verte
Que entre tú y yo
No pudiera ver sido
Un cariño, tarde per merecido
Gracias a Dios que conmovió mi corazón
Para haber tenido estos momentos contigo
Hubo paz y tranquilidad en nuestras vidas
Quisiera que mi ultimo recuerdo
No fuera, ese cariñoso saludo
Que tus ultimas palabra no fueran, hay te veo
Que tu voz no se hubiera grabado
Firmemente en mi corazón
Quisiera no tener que estar recordando
Que si te extraño
Tu Fuiste, tarde que temprano un apoyo para mi familia
Ojala y tu corazón se quedo tranquilo
No hay nada más que decir, más que te extraño y te quiero
Primero Dios espero que te vuelva a poner en mi camino
Para seguir siendo tu mi padre y yo tu hija
Si me duele mucho haberte perdido “Dad”
Carolyn went to sleep on July 9th, 2009
Please convey our love and deepest sympathy to her dear husband and sons. We'll keep on the lookout in the new world for a very tall, slender figure, maybe a lot younger looking. Her battle is over... ours is still on.........Sadly, Bette
I am so sorry to hear about Carolyn. My condolences to you Sandra because I know this must be very hard for you too, afterall you were her best friend and a dear friend. She is now resting and until she awakens again, we will move forward in Jehovah's work so that we can be there to welcome her back. Connie
There is so much comfort in the fact that Jehovah has the power and desire to bring back to life those we love. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Erica
Just want to let you know I appreciate the updates on Carolyn. It is so sad to hear she died. You have been a true sister in helping Carolyn and I am touched by all you did for her. You are special!! This time must be hard for you and your daughter. But you are a true example for all of us in Menifee Cong on what be loving really means. Love Terri
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am happy to know that she is now in peace.
Love to you and her family
Debbie
THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR US I KNOW HOW HARD IT HAS BEEN FOR YOU. I AM PRAYING FOR EVERYONE. I DIDN'T GET TO TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER.

My Dearest Carolyn
It lingers for moments so I hold my breath
Wondering if this is what I think it is
unannounced only to remind me
So as to console myself and will the sadness to end
My dearest beloved friend
We can no longer create special moments
I don’t know what to say or do when I am with you
So I sit, I watch, I pretend as I sit beside your bed
I try my best not to cry
Empowering strength so you can gravitate
To endure what must soon take place
My dearest beloved friend
We have nothing else to share but each other
Everything is so not important
And while the world goes on doing
we do our best to remember
for soon that will have it's own end

Manuel H. Mendoza
Is it my aging body that is betraying me?
So cold and callous is the mind reminding me
That I can no longer do this or that
What happened to the free walloping spirit that existed beforehand?
Where did it all go and how?
Slowly passing away, not a chance for sad goodbyes, it’s just gone
No take backs, no replays, no gasping for that last moment in time
I am left with a decaying body-
Chances are none more important to you as is this writing
Until of course you are old and alone feeling decrepit
wondering the same things attested
the aches and pains
the slowness to get up and go
the simpleness to run and get things done
why? why? has this body forsaken me
good for nothing just slowing me down
the wrinkles the grayness faithfully follow
how old do you really have to be?
To know and appreciate the gift given me
To live life to the fullest, even when your family has forgotten me
Growing old is a sickness with no known cure at the present
I am left alone to tend to this body
With the help of strangers
I sit, I lay in wait for my demise
Wondering if there will be any thought left in me
Not really accepting my limitations
Again and again I awake to my own deception
Only to denounce all that is remaining
All that is remaining of this ailing old body
