Mom and Sarah looking beautiful we all were so excited to see Brandon (Sarahs dad) and Sarah on Easter after the festivities had slowed down.  If anything this was a perfect surprise to complete a gteat day.

I couldn't imagine living part of my life knowing I had a mother in the same town who didn't love or care about me as her daughter with beautiful children. This doesn't even to begin to explain what my mother had to live with as a beautiful young women. How could Ramalda just stop contacting her own loving, strong, smart,talented & soo much more young daughter. It didnt hold mother back, but I often wonder if this was difficult for mother. All I know is RAMALDA it was your lose! You missed out! Not only did you fail as a mother, what human can not attend their daughters memorial. I forgive you cuz in all reality she was just fine without you. My mother was amazing she taught herself so much and her kids & grand & great children too she was amazing when it came to her art through painting, quilting, sewing in general. Her imagination would soar, she came up with the cutest, extremely detailed most beautiful artwork in the world because it was made with so much love in time many many thoughts and cigarettes she could make the simplest pattern into the most beautiful detailed work did you ever lay your eyes on that wasn't even the half of it when it came to her cooking boy oh boy you're in for a treat my mama said cook I miss her cooking so much I miss her love and friendship more than her scent I'm 38 years old and I still take naps with my mom I know it was hard but she did her best to helping me raise my son thank you mom for everything you taught me to be all the help you gave me thank you for all the guidance thank you for all the love precious love you taught me how to love hard and that's why I grieve so hard

I planted veggies and fruit they have all sprouted. And the flowers outside haven't but maybe they will soon. I started an embroidery sample piece it came out ok. I'm working on my quilt you made me and a few other items. 

when I was in elementary school really young I remember my mom having plants all over our house. The vines would  hang so beautifully across the ceiling and drape down the walls. The only house.she has beautiful plant holders crocheted out of your yarn. to be continued

when I was 13 I remember going to the club after asking my mom and she said no I still went anyway and I got in a lot of trouble. she fell asleep and I didn't think she wake up because she was drinking and she showed up outside the club and I was in trouble. I didn't want her to embarrass me in front of everybody so I walked past her and then called her name and ran to the truck. oh boy did I get a whooped and she was hitting me I was in so much trouble I didn't think I'd ever do anything wrong again.  Of course I did. Soon after, I came home high, mom & my sister Gigi noticed. They were both yelling and my mom spanked me. All I could do was laugh, I don't remember if I got grounded or not.

February 20, we left to Cali to visit daddy, Chantel, Brandon, LaFonte & friends. we stopped in Arizona & got a hotel cuz I couldn't drive anymore cuz I was too tired. My car was standard & mom couldn't drive a standard. We hit the road early the nextday. When we arrived we were so excited. We had a great time. We wentto the beach, although it was cold Mom got to see the beach.
