I cannot share it here in the site but hope that at one point I can reach you again. My sense is you are inundated with obligations, but do know that you and Michael, as well as Tito Fort can call me. I was trying to get Tito Fort's number because the one I have on my cell is apparently disconnected. All my best wishes, Baby Becky Hello Christine,

Know that there are many who you do not know, who are holding your family in prayer. As hard as this is for you, it truly is a gift, to be able to be alongside your Mom/wife as she takes this final journey to God. I hope all the love, strength and concern we have for you, will help you when you are most troubled and sad. Before my own Mom passed away, I gave her this verse. I wanted to share it with you now as I know how much her children love her and if you could, I think you would have written the same words. Now, maybe you can read them to her and tell her one more time how special she is in your lives. LETTER TO MY MOTHER Thank you for all your wise and careful instructions, When my feet were small, You lovingly set them upon the right path. Thank you for all the times you comforted me. When I was hurt or afraid, you listened to how I felt. And as I grew, You showed me beauty when I was broken, Brought me gladdness when I was sad, Praised and encouraged me when all seemed lost. Thank you for your secret prayers for me. You've been my best friend here on earth. And if God hadn't picked you to be my Mother, I would have picked you anyway." God Bless you.

LETTER TO MY MOTHER
Thank you for all your wise and careful instructions,
When my feet were small,
You lovingly set them upon the right path.

Thank you for all the times you comforted me.
When I was hurt or afraid,
you listened to how I felt.

And as I grew,
You showed me beauty when I was broken,
Brought me gladdness when I was sad,
Praised and encouraged me when all seemed lost.

Thank you for your secret prayers for me.
You’ve been my best friend here on earth.
And if God hadn’t picked you to be my Mother,
I would have picked you anyway.”

God Bless you. Marian Swanson

I am going to arrive there at 1 am. My flight arrives at 11:30 pm on Friday. I cannot wait to be with you. Michael shared what character traits you have passed on to him. I'd like to share with you mine. I still remember how you called out of the blue when you were in NYC (I think that was 1997). I was so amazed how lively and spontaneous you were. You were so full of life, fearless, strong, and caring. I think if it is one thing you have impressed upon me was the importance of family. How important it is to support and be strong for the family. Since then, I always model my decisions as a mother from your example of strength and caring. Thank you for giving me those traits. No matter how far away I am from you at the moment, I feel very close by because of the good memories and phone calls we made to each other. Love you lots and see you on Friday, Baby Becky Dear Tita Cora,

My mother had cancer too and when you described what you are experiencing, the stress, sorrow, regret, exhaustion and sometimes delight when she showed signs of smile on her face, I feel like I am there with you because these emotions are not new to me. You are a good son and be strong for her to the extend of hiding your sorrows which is very hard to do. I pray that her parting from us here on earth will be a pleasant transition to a devine and everlasting life over yonder. Yet I resist the thought of her leaving, praying still that a miracle for her recovery be allowed by heaven above, by the omnipotent God who can make anything possible. May this wish of mine become true. God bless, Nitoy Dear Michael,

I guess sometimes, it is ok to cry and just let it out and still wonder how things got worse so fast. I really love you guys. Tita Cora, even though I never knew my father, knowing you has been the closest thing to getting to know who he was as a person. I say thins because from what my Mom said, you were very dear to him. I love you, Tita Cora. Please keep strong and positive. Focus on the good cells left in your body (imagine them fighting the bad cells. The least amount of negativity will allow the good flow through your system. Whatever it takes, please stay strong. We are spending the entire weekend entertaining Tim's side of the family. His brother and his children came over from Florida. Tim's Mom came from Connecticut, and Tim worked so hard to get things in order. It was difficult for me to concentrate knowing your condition. Still working to finish report cards, is another stress source this weekend. I hope that by Tuesday, I will be released from this obligation. Life takes its own course while we struggle to customize its order according to what we want them to be. Yet, like we all know, Life will always challenge us for a reason. Michael, is the Phoenix airport the nearest one to your place? If I can work it out, I would like to visit next weekend. Dear Tita Cora, Tito Fort, Michael, and Christine,

You are very brave to accept these difficulties and pain you are going through. I can see how Fort, Michael and Christine are suffering while watching you in agony. I treasure the fond memories I have of you - since you were grewing up to be a teenager and on through college - not just an attractive cadet sponsor, but smart - and then a successful professional. And now, what an ideal caring wife and mother - grandma and auntie you are (Baby B. loves you very much)! You give all of yourself to your loved ones. I have always admired you. You are in my prayers. I love you. May God bless you and His will be done. Ate Becky My dearest Cora,
