2020 - 11th Anniversary









My sweet Lea,
It has been 11 long years.
When this time of the year comes rolling in no matter how I tell
myself to be careful, it just hits me like a ton of bricks.
All the memories come through me .
The beautiful ones, the tragic ones and the lonliness
creeps in much more than usual.

This year seems like a realization that I won't see you anymore
in this world and it hit me so hard. The pain is so difficult to bear,
I feel so numb just writing these lines, it is just too much to bear.
Why does this life have to be so cruel with so many bad things
happening to so many people. I guess I just lost hope.
The reality is so much worse than the encouragement
I tried to give myself all these years.
This letter is too sombre and thats not at all what I want to write to you about.

So I will tell you about our new life with coronavirus, a worldwide pandemic,
a new reality that we have been dealing with for a few months now.
Everyone has been confined to their homes. Children have been out of schools.
The only thing that was opened were grocery stores and pharmacies.
Even that has been a struggle. We are walking by each other like everone has the plague.
This is like a horror movie.

I think just about everyone has lost it in one way or another.
This process of living is so unbearable. People are so sick, some are dying.
It is affecting older people and people with conditions the worst.

There are line ups everywhere. Nothing is the same,
life got very complicated and I feel the young children
of today will have reprecussions from all this madness.

The whole family really misses you.
How are you? I wish I knew. It's just too difficult to make up stories in my head.
With everything that is happening in this life, the tragedies are non ending.
But when it happens directly to you it's like a jolt of lightening hit you.
You may have survived it but you remain crippled for the rest of your life.
Just want you to know how much me and Daddy miss you and love you.
Josue turned 6 and Naliya turned 9 this year, how much they have grown and
how you would love them and spoil them.
Sabrina got married this year you would have loved to see her and help her through it.
Lisa and Justin bought a new house. They seem so happy.
Nonna is 95 years old. She is still strong but we're all struggling to give her some sense in her life.
Mia and Howie are very spoilt and miss you very much.
Try to come and give me signs that you are okay, we love you so much.
Love you more each day if that is at all possible.
Mom, Dad, Mia and Howie
