My mother's shoes

These are the shoes that she wore to my wedding. I have them now.

Fleeting Fall       AML 2011

It is 4 years since Noemia passed on to the next life. She is not physically present and yet I sense her presence. She is with me in spirit to guide me and always love me. I really miss her. I remember so many wonderful moments together. I am very grateful that I had such a wonderful mother. I think of her everyday.

In Memory - A Prayer

I am grateful for the gift of her life, and the good memories which enable me to recall the blessings of her life. May the love and kindness with which she touched my life help me to share these qualities with others. May God's compassion shelter her soul and sustain my life. May her virtues be reflected in my life. Amen

WISH YOU WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH US

I miss you everyday. 4 years later, it is still hard without you. The day I miss you most in the year is your birthday. I am so glad that for so many years I came home to celebrate with you. It was a long way but a true journey of love. Your birthday was always so joyful, with a house full of family and friends, of love, laughter and food. Nobody was invited but all were drawn in to celebrate their special relationship with you on your special day.

A rarity, Noemia agreeing to have her picture taken and smiling for it.

This was a very happy occasion. All her children, their spouses and grandchildren were in Calangute. We had a grand party for all our relatives. She always organized wonderful family gatherings.

I think of her everday

I wonder what she was thinking about? She looks very natural and so beautiful, as she always did.
