En mayo de 1969 fallecío mi papá Cesar Pérez. En su funeral llegue a saber que tenía otras tias más que mi tia Moncha y Chela. Llegue a conocer a mi tia Teresa, la cumiche de la familia Pérez. Durante el novenario conocí a su hija, Linda, mi prima. ¿ Qué puedo decír de esta señora que casi conocí.? Era muy amable y amigable conmigo en las pocas ocasiones que nos vimos. Es tarde de retroceder el tiempo...pero nunca tarde en re-establecer la amistad familiar con mi prima y su famila simpática. En varias maneras ella me recuerda a mi mamita Olimpia y tia Luisa- mujeres sencillas, llenas de vida y con un graduado en vida. Esta entrada en el blog es dedicada a mi bella prima Linda.
In May 1969 my father Cesar Perez died. At his funeral I learned that I had other aunts besides my Aunt Moncha and Chela. I got to meet my Aunt Teresa, the baby of the Perez family. During the novena I met her daughter, my cousin Linda. What can I say about this lady that I hardly knew? She was very amiable and friendly with me at the few family affairs where we saw each other. It is too late to turn back time, but never too late to re-establish the family frienship with my cousin Linda and her beautiful family. After hearing the various eulogies at her Rosary, she reminded me of my own mom, Olimpia, and Aunt Luisa. Women who loved unconditionally and shared their love with their family. Linda, the way our cousins talked abour your Mamita, well, I can see she raised you in the same way. Your demeanor and smile definitely are your Mamita's! Again, I wish I could have been more a part of your lives, especially hers. Know that you are thought of and loved and in prayers; not just mine but those of my students- 26 of them!!
Today you asked if I wrote something down, well I did and I would like to share this with the world! God bless you and your family. Hugs to them all!
People come into our lives...we meet them and sometimes we lose contact with them.
But, we remember them because of what they said and did in our lives.
Some people just talk;
Thanks to those people who come into our lives and do something worthwhile
A piece of them is with us...in the words from LES MISERABLES
TO LOVE ANOTHER PERSON IS TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD
I believe Tia Teresa saw God on a daily basis
