First Valentines Day

Image
As I woke up this morning, I noticed it will be Alyssa's first Valentine's day. I also noticed how much my love for her has grown. I remember when Chris was born I fell immediately in love with him, in a different way, a motherly love way. When Alyssa was born, I wish I could say it was the same. My heart was aching and  full of fears from the moment of her diagnosis, but as time has gone by, my heart is full of hope and love. Today as I hold her in my arms and embrace her, I thank God for giving her to me and making me realize of his greatness. Happy Valentine's Alyssa..Mommy will always  love you!

Ella ha sido mi poder, mi suporte, mi fuerza, mi inspiracion, mi ejemplo...la lista seria interminable, y realmente no creo q tengo tanto espacio para ponerlo por escrito. Sin embargo, lo unico que puedo decir es "GRACIAS MAMI", siempre has estado ahi por nosotros, y ahora es cuando me doy cuenta que eres lo mas preciado de mi vida despues de Dios, gracias por querernos y ayudarnos, por estar siempre preocupandote, gracias por el tiempo que compartes con nosotros. Gracias por tu fortaleza y amor que nos das a Chris, Alyssa y hasta Yoshi va en la lista junto con Freddy y yo. Solo queria decirte que te amamos y te queremos muchisimo. It has been a while since I wanted to blog about my mom and I have been searching for that particular word that summarizes my feelings to her, b
