Mamma Mother's Day was made for you ..You were a mother Like no other, a mother who loved US always till the end , a mother who laughed when we laughed and cried when we cried, a mother who put US first before herself, a mother who cared, a mother who made US never have want in our lives, a mother who gave her all to US even if it meant her last penny, a mother who never left our side until The Lord Took her away from our side to be by his side In Heaven.. If I wrote down all the reasons I love you Ma, it would take up a whole book that I would need your college educated Grand Son's Paulie & Dominick To write for me Ma...Love YOU MA & MISS YOU SO .....

Mamma today is Mother's Day 2022 and Mother's Day will never be the same without You Mamma.. Our last Mother's Day was 05/08/2014 and that's exactly 2,922 days ago, 252,460,800 seconds ago, 4,207,680 minutes ago, and 70,128 hours ago together ... I can only imagine our next Mother's Day together Ma.. Until that next Mother's Day again Ma... Happy Mother's Day Mamma Bella & I love You, I adore You, and I miss You so much only God Knows Ma....

Sunday Morning.....

Sunday Morning ...

I wish i could of meet my father's grandparents in person ...Me visiting their gravestone in Forza D' Agro ,Sicily as a child....but one day i will in Heaven..Rest in peace to all my families souls in Heaven....

I did get to meet my mother's father at a young age ... Visit his grave in Forza d'Agro, Sicily the last time i went....Rest his soul and will meet again one day Nonno....

Another pic I took while visiting my parents land where they were born and raised Forza d'Agro, Sicily when i was younger and never meet my Mother's mother but will one day bec. she passed before I was born .. In this pic is my grandmother (my mothers mother) & baby  sister .. Rest their souls always... 

Zio Pepe who had a heart of gold ...when you were at his home he would always want people to eat so he would bring out all sorts foods, deserts, drinks and etc.... Zio your back home with your baby sister Maria and with my dad Pietro whom he loved ..My dad would always make Zio  laugh when he would joke with my mom...Until again laugh away with my parents in Heaven ...

Mamma & Pappa came in my dreams Saturday night early Sunday morning around that time and the dream was mamma & pappa were standing in front of St. Peter's High School across the street from RWJ hospital .. I told my brother Peter about the dream I had about Mamma & Pappa not knowing that Zio Pepe passed at RWJ Sat. 3.19.22 and just to find out Wed the 23rd.I was reading my emails i see a email from SELOVER FUNERAL HOME daily alerts who has passed and see Giuseppe Lombardo (ZIO PEPE) 1931-2022 who passed away on March 19.22 that Saturday of my dream , no one let us know that Zio Pepe passed rest his soul in Heaven , but now i know the reason my parents came into my dreams and its was that they were waiting for Zio Pepe who passed at RWJ Sat. to come home to Heaven .. I wish i had a chance to say my goodbye to Zio Pepe who was a great man and who loved his sister so much that he would visit her daily either by bike or walking even when he was unable to walk so much he did it just to go see his sister .. Zio Pepe had so much trust and love in his sister Maria (my mom) that he would call her daily just to hear my moms voice to make sure she was ok and would call her for when he needed to tell her if he was sick or if his wife was sick to see what my mom would tell him to do bec. he trusted her so much.. Zio Pepe's wife Zia Carmela once told Zio Pepe why do you call your sister all the time when ur sick she's no doctor ... that was funny but it was the trust he had and love for his sister and now their together talking away and laughing away like they always did.. Love you Zio and will miss seeing you sitting on your porch taking in the Sun... Until again Rest easy Zio Pepe

A  New Year 2022 Closer To A New Year To my Mamma & Pappa. New Year's will Never Be The Same for me without my mamma & pappa, but just a closer year to seeing them again.. That midnight phone call to my parents are no more which hurts me the most...

Love you & Miss you Mamma & Pappa Always 

When I wake up I always keep my parents in my heart, because my mother carried me to birth and my father planted the seed for me. I honor them to this day, may they rest in peace. I will always give my love to my parents. Mamma & Pappa, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas today... A Christmas closer to you both. May God bless you always Mamma & Pappa.... Pappa will always be my wisdom and Mamma will always be my strength

Love You So Much Mia Mamma Bella... Hugs & Kisses is all I want to do to you Mamma Until Again

Mamma My Heart ..

Hi Momma and Pappa,

Just wanted to say how thankful I am to have known wonderful parents who loved thier children so much.
What I learned from the both of you is how to love your children unconditionally and to always be there for them. 
Thank you for instilling this attribute and for providing all the time. 
I Love you both and miss you on this day of giving Thanks. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Ma and Pappa. 

Love always,

Your Son

Mamma & Pappa are not here anymore. I can’t call them. I can’t touch them. I can’t hear their laugh. I can’t tell them about my good days & bad days. Fall is my hardest season of the year.

My mother died on November 28, 2015. My Dad died September 22, 2019 so the Fall is very depressing for me. Thanksgiving for me is simply a reminder now.

Three of my very favorite people in the world have birthdays in November my husband, my son Dominick and My fury son Romie. I try my best for them 3.

Then those days pass and the only other thing going on in the month of November is Thanksgiving and the anniversary of my mom . No matter how hard I try to pretend that Thanksgiving no longer existed, it still comes. I still have to eat the food for my kids and what parents want. I still have to smile. I still have to tell everyone all is fine.

I don’t think you really can adjust to losing the most important people in your life. I think you just learn to live with it. That absence never goes away. You never feel quite whole again. You can’t really adjust to not having them around anymore. I don’t think other people really get that. It’s one of those things that you can’t understand until you have experienced it first hand.
I have also grown and learned a lot. I have learned a lot about myself, I have grown into the person I am right now.

I feel different without them both. I still miss both, and I am always going to miss them both. But, I have learned that I do not have to do this alone. I learned that there are people in my life who will hold me while I talk about her. I learned that there are people in my life who will encourage me when I am down. I do know that I am not alone God First , My Mom, My Dad, My Husband, My Paulie & My Dominick also my furry son Romie are with me always and holding me down when I'm down and out without you Mamma & Pappa... Miss & Love you both always and 4ever until Again ......

My mom loved pics of her grandchildren and her fridge was full of little pics of them all.. Here's one i have now on my fridge ...from her fridge to my fridge of my first born son Paul Michael Lombardo ...

My Pappa's name will go on in My second born son Dominick Pietro Lombardo... We miss Pappa & Mamma so much....

The hurt is real and still here with me Mamma & Pappa, but I know one day I will be back home again in your arms .....Love you always & forever

Pappa was a hard working man and never asked for or wanted anything given to him by anyone but the Lord's help only .. He came to America on a boat from Sicily and he would tell us this story he had nothing in his pocket.... The help from one Sicilian man from New York who was a family friend who was from my dads hometown in Sicily.... my dad & my dads mom borrowed money from this man to come to America and the man said whenever you have the money you can pay it back no rush and my father and his mom worked so hard to pay this man back and their first paycheck went to this man who gave them the chance to be here and my dad always said that this man told him he would give and do anything for my dad & my grandmother bec. they paid him back so quickly and my dad appreciated this man for doing what he did and my dad never forgot this man told the story over and over thru out his life with us.... Miss & Love you Pappa

Pa, it was good to see you and Momma today and spend some alone time with you both. 

I was thinking how you always use to say to us, "stay a little longer here, I don't want to be alone" and now looking back, I wish I could stay a longer and not leave you alone.  But then I said to you, On September 22, 2019 you would never going to be alone with Momma by your side and your Heavenly Father holding you.  I can see you looking down at me with a smile.

I miss you Pa and wish I had one more day with you so that I can hug you and tell again, I love you!

Your loving Son

Today was the day 2 years ago that The Lord took you home @7am in the morning to make you new again Pa.. We love & miss you every day of our lives and we will never stop loving & missing you Pa until we get to see you again one day...

Every year i give a mass for my parents on their Birth Into this World & their passing into the Heavens... I know their in Heaven with our Lord holding them safe and new for me to see them again one day.... Love and Miss you both Pappa & Mamma on this Sept 22.2021 of Pappa's 2nd Year In Heaven...

My first ever heartbreak of my life happened on 11/28/2015 My Mamma.. & My second heartbreak happened On 09/22/2019 My Pappa... The heartbreaks were my first and only I ever had in my life and they did hurt alot and still hurting.... It's called  “broken heart syndrome,” and it’s real. Losing a loved one can be emotionally devastating. It’s rare, but sometimes an overwhelming loss can affect physical health, including the heart, too.

Love you & miss you both Mamma & Pappa until we are together again.

Ma, for comfort sake, I chose to cling to the memories of your smiles and the echoes of your laughter.
It’s another birthday anniversary and I miss showering you with gifts on your birthday.  The last birthday I spent with you back in 2015 was my most memorable as I saw how happy you were that day we spent in the kitchen. But little do you know Ma, that day with you and wrapping my arm around you was one of my happiest days because you were so happy and I thank God for being able to have captured that moment.

Looking back, I know how God planned that moment for us to spend that time and how that picture would have a lasting affect on me for it gives me solace knowing your smile in the picture tells me that you are in a happy place now and that alone, is what any son would be glad in knowing.     

I miss you, Ma.

Ma you have given me life and sacrificed so much for all of us. So on this special day Aug. 5 today you deserve the world and more. I hope today on your birthday you feel how much you are loved, and know that to celebrate you is so easy and an honor. I wish I could be there with you Ma but I know I will one day and can't wait for that long last hug you gave me in the ICU that one night on Nov. 27,2015 the night before your passing ...That hug I can never forget was outta of nowhere you grabbed me slowly by my arm and pulled me in and didn't wanna let me go ... I cry so many times thinking about that last hug and I can't wait for that welcome home hug like that goodbye hug on that night Nov.27,2015 you gave me Ma.... I am sending lots of love and birthday wishes Ma from us all here ... Until Again mom miss you so much ......

To be loved by you is a God given blessing.

Happy 83rd birthday Ma...2021

Who knew Pappa knew what he loved saying, "Bella America Bella Italia, bec he loved his birthplace where he was born and raised Italia and loved his adopted country America so much that he would always say those words .. Happy Fourth Pappa & Mamma until our next Fourth together.... 2021

Pa today is a hard day without you here with us but I will continue to celebrate you until I get back home to you so Until again I'm still missing you on this second Father's Day IN 2021 without you.... Tears for you always

You both have left my life Mamma and Pappa, but you both will never leave my heart.
Until again missing you both...

I am trying my best to raise a family like both, you and Pappa did and show them Andrea and I will be there for our children just like you both did with us. 

I miss your presence and laughter Ma but feel your spirit in me. ❤

Miss you 

Your Son

My Angels will always be with us here until we meet them again to never part again... Miss you Mamma & Pappa always 

Pa, the last night on this earth I stayed close to your bedside.
I held your hand and talked to you while I held your mask doing your last breathing treatment for the night at 11:30pm ....
I told Paul my husband let him fall asleep and we can leave so we can go home to get some sleep and eat to be back by your side ,but what we didn't know was God had different plans for you in a few hours was to join your beautiful bride Mamma at 7:00 am.

I'm so happy we were able to talk about our Savior...
Also Paul my husband telling you he loved you and all you meant to him was so beautiful on your last night with us and touching Paul's face to say I love you also son, bec God knew you were going home in a few
to see the heavens and the pearly gates,
trying to imagine all the glory that awaited you in the morning.

You always wore God's armor.
You gave us all your best.
A mighty warrior for our Lord.
Be at peace, Pa; it's time to rest.

I will be okay, Pa. I'm your daughter.
I wield a mighty sword.
I'm armed with all you taught me....Until Again....
