amanda was a strong young lady i can close my eye's and see her when she was born 8lbs 9oz she cried so loud i told her dad oh boy she will always speak her mind and that she did amanda was a very smart she walked at 8months her frist words was a song she was a skinny little girl untill she was 13 and she took of the glasses and blew out her hair and that was it she truned into this beautiful young lady i just want to build a glass house just for her so nobody could ever hurt her, but she wouldn't have that.  lol she could light up a room just walking in she had the most beautiful smile she was loved by many and hated by most but that didn't stop her from getting what she wanted out of life she finshed high school even after losing her dad to cancer.she made it to the top there was no stoping her and then she found out she was going to have a baby she cried on the phone as she told me thinking i could be mad at i was so happy for her and told her i would always be there for her. and on that sunny day we were going to have a mother an daughter day. i can stlii here her laughing as we drove to long island i hadn't seen her so happy but little did i know that would be the last time i would see her smile , hear her voice and laugh,cause god had his own plan for that day.for on that day god took them away, my life has never been the same i lost a great big chunk of my heart ,and life. words cannot express how much i miss you i know you are with me i feel you in my heart and i see you in my dreams. AMANDA J MARTINEZ,  you may be gone but you will always live in our heart.......
