Tributes
Leave a tribute#1Grandma. Sometimes it’s hard when people ask me about it, “No way you’re a grandma!”
But then I get to tell them about you & the bond we shared. And for those few moments, you’re with me again. My sadness turns to joy when I get to say the one word that has been missing from my life for many many years… Abuela.
Love you, miss you.
It’s that I will never forget this day— tear after tear…
Still sad. But, know you and dad are watching over us, and I’ll be seeing you again someday.
Miss you and love you both.

I miss you, Mom.
Love Always Midge

Reading Week
Every year your birthday falls during National Reading Week. So I tell the story of how you took me to the public library; made sure I received my 1st library card, and selected a hardcover book for me to check out. At home you read aloud The Five Chinese Brothers. The sound effects you made, the inflection in your voice, your intonations, and the way you articulated every word, always resonates with me when I read the story to my children and students over the years.
The line in the story that repeats four times “...will you allow me to go and bid my mother good-bye?” choked me up today.
I like the ending. “And the five Chinese brothers and their mother all lived together happily for many years.“
