Arellano -- Mom Sept. 13, 1921 - Feb. 10, 1997It has been two years since you left us. It seems just like yesterday. As each day goes by it seems to get harder. I feel so sad because you are missing so much. Your new great-grandchild, Alexis, got baptized, your oldest great-grandson, Matthew, is making his first communion, your grandson, Christopher, is graduating high school. I always hoped and dreamed that you would see the kids graduate and get married. They say you are here with us. I believe that you are, but I wish I could see your physical being. You are probably telling me to let you go. I have found this poem that I read and this is why I think you are telling me to let you go!I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has laid, you see. I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys, a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will miss. Do not be burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me, He set me free.Love You Always, Anthony, Bea, John, Chris, Jennifer, Padilla's & Arellano's
