One Question... You got a long time? Because this could be a while. No, really, I'm Serious...
JESUS, My Mother and My Nana... as all three of them have taught me, through example, that love4OneAnother
is the only way in all things.
And again... My wonderful, strong, hardworking, selfless, loving Mother - who
has shown me that no matter what cross you are given to bear, you do so with
humility and strength and love... as well as, with dignity, grace and class.
I love you, Mom... You are so beautiful; far more beautiful than you know.
You and Nana both taught me it is better to give than to receive.
My Nana, Rosa... who cared for my brother and me everyday of her life - fiercely
and lovingly - so that my parents could work and provide; Mom sometimes working
2-3 jobs or more. Although, you never said so, we had to have tired you out...
yet you never let go or failed us.
Nana, you were the rock we leaned on and the soft place for us to fall when
we needed. You taught me that respect is earned, cherished and appreciated and
that love is neverending. You believed in me, no matter what... and I will continue
to miss you so very much everyday of my life... and yet, I know that you are
with me, in my heart - always. I pray that when you look down upon me from Heaven
that you see the good woman you always wanted me to be.
~((Ti amo, Nana - siete nel mio cuore sempre... e io so nel tutto della cielo ed tutti i giardini di JESÙ CRISTO, siete la più bella Rosa del DIO))~
~((I love you, Nana - you are always in my heart... and I know that in all
of the Heavens and in all of the Gardens belonging to JESUS, The CHRIST, you
are GOD's most beautiful Rose.))~
And Prince, whom through his Music and times, has taught me that being what some may call a "mi(s)s-fit" is in reality 3 times the funk wrapped in a purple paisley bow; unique and defined - by my own views/rules. And it's cool.
Thank you for writing the soundtrack to my life; Expanding my mind and my horizons.
