Obituary for Maestas


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Saturday August 28, 1999

Max Maestas (Today is your Birthday) If I had only known it was the last time I would hear your voice. I'd have kept you safe at home like a life line to my heart. If I had known, I'd never hear your voice again, I'd have memorized each thing you ever said and on lonely nights I could think of them once more. I've kept your words alive inside my head. If I had known it was my last night by your side, I've have prayed a miracle would stop the dawn. You winked at me in intensive care and I looked into your eyes and made sure you knew my love for you goes on and on. If I had only known the love I would have shown, if I had only known you were the treasure in my hand. You were the one who always stood beside me. So unaware I foolishly believed that you would always be there, but then I left for some rest and came back and held you close for a second and you slipped away from me forever. I am everything I am because you loved me. I miss you and love you more every day. I Love You. Your wife, Dora
