I'm so sorry to hear bout your grandmother. I remember you told me about her and you left Trinidad for awhile to go see her. I'm sure her soul is safe with God. His love is limitless. May He grant you strength to get through these hard times.

L D S I do feel sorry for your loss. grandparents are a special type of a person. full of love and kindness.
and remember it is said that we all will go to where we are most happy and joyful. and we can also grow allot there in the spirit world even faster with far more comprehenson than here. and with the family and teachers thats there we can grow so much as to astound those of us who are left on the earth. and don't forget they will be able to watch us from there when we least expect. and give an unseen love and careing . and as your grow and your childer they will rejoyce in them as well as sorry in theirs and your tears as if they were here. and sometimes as we give a big hug to comfort one another they also give an invisible hug.

I was just thinking about the many memories I have about her, specially while I was a small child. She was always too "old" to be my mother and children would make fun of me while I used to tell them she was not my grandmother but my mom (I did not know then how to explain the atypical family I had at home).

One day, when my sister was around 6 and I was around 4, my sister saw a pic of our birth mother in a box and asked "Is this our sister?", grandma smiled and said "I think is time for us to talk about something". She then explained to us that our birth Mom was in heaven and that she was in fact our grandmother but that it was fine for us to call her Mom as well. We did not fully understand what all that meant, specially because few years later I would ask her how come we never go to visit my birth Mom's grave. She would try her best to change the subject since the topic was obviously too hard to explain to such small child with inquisitive questions about herself and her background.

Then years later, she explained to us that our birth Mom was in fact missing due to one of the Military Governments that left more than 30,000 people missing. She explained to us in such easy way that we could well understand what it meant.

When I was not even born, my grandmother had a car accident that left many scars (specially on her head), she was not able to heal completely because she had to work to maintain her family. Years later, she had a heart attack who left her bed resting for months.

I recall the funny stories she used to tell us in summer nights while looking at the stars and moon. It was through her that I learned the moon has a little donkey, the same donkey that took Mary while she was pregnant of Jesus. I recall her stories about speaking German through one of her grandparents as well as having Quechua Indians as neighbors. She used to tell us stories of alligators trying to catch her and her friends because they were playing with her eggs as well as stories of Faith and determination who made me who I am today. Thanks Mom, thanks for such wonderful memories...

I was so sorry to hear of your loss LDS. I have been away for a few days, and was saddened to read of your sad news.
Your Mom obviously touched many lives also, and I'm sure made a difference to many. I'm glad you got to spend some time with her before she passed on, although it must have been very difficult for you, and I know that you'll find strength in the fact that she's now with Heavenly Father.
Sympathies and best wishes to you, I'll keep you in my prayers.
Love, Diane x

Thanks Diane. You are always so sweet. I am feeling much better now...it is hard to explain, through prayer the Lord is manifesting me to smile and be happy and I feel it is because she is finally at rest and happy with her loved ones up there.

You know what? Last night I was thinking, when I wanted to go to Argentina to live with her (and the whole thing did not work ) when we had to return, I felt very bad of thinking it was not the Lord who told me I needed to go and spend time with her. After such experience, I thought (up to recently) that it was my wishes instead of an actual answer from God. But now I feel strongly that the Lord DID answer my prayer and he DID tell me to go and spend some time with her, maybe not for her benefit but for my peace of mind...to prepare me for these sad news two years later.

She was such a wonderful woman and I know she will continue blessing the souls of those around her.
