Maria

Hi there,
Well it is already the end of August and we are getting into the Fall season. I love the Fall time with leaves falling, color changing and the smell of fireplaces going. I love the temp. I am not a heat person I love 70's degree weather. I love the starting of the holiday season. this is why I am writing my blog today. My daughter in law who passed 4 years ago this month loved this time of the year. She came from Calif. and never saw the changing that happen in the months ahead of us. But she started her holiday season decorating around Sept. and kept it up till after December. This is for her my Maria. She was one in a million. She gave us a wonderful gift our grandson Nick and kept her house in tack with such love and devotion. She kept her home so clean and was always decorating somewhere or something. She collected Radko ornaments for her several trees she put up. She would change things around all the time.
     I would tease her and say what are you doing today different? She would laugh. It was fun having her popped in and say lets go up the street and have some lunch or lets go to the local retail store and shop. Maria's middle name was shop. LOL don't get me wrong she wasn't perfect but she was pretty close.
     She protected her flock like a bear and anyone and I mean anyone that could or would harm them she would be on them like fire. Blazing away either with fists or mouth she would take care of the problem.

     She kept our grandson in line and loved our son. What else could I have asked for. For this I will never forget her. She was a little spanish, mexican spit-fire I tell you. My son got his soul mate when he met her. They had over 18 years together before she died from cancer. I hate that word- cancer. It has taken people we love away from us darn too early.
Now my son still grieves but went on with his life being young at age and heart. He has helped with the raising of his son and with the household. He met a nice girl and everyone gets along together. Life does go on but it doesn't mean we have to forget the past. This is my way of saying Maria will never be forgotten and I hope someday I will see her again. I am sure of that. She died as she lived without complaining and with us at her side.
God bless you Maria and rest in peace soon we will be together again as a family.
Love,
Mom in law   I never felt like a mom in law always just a plain mom.
