This was taken over the 4-day weekend… the first time I really held vigil at any cemetery for All Soul’s Day.
We usually make the rounds the weekend before or after to avoid the crowd, but this time we wanted to be with our angel. The white roses in the bouquet were “prescribed” by her doctor.
These were the pretty, colorful flowers I had arranged for her 7th month.
I hope you like all the flowers we pick for you, Sofia… happy 7th month.

Hi! I was just going through your blogs and was teary eyed to read that Sofia Ysabel didn’t make it. I don’t really know what it feels like to lose someone we love so much but all I can say is that God had a purpose for her in your life and your family. The Lord used Sofia to draw you closer to Him. When it was accomplished, perhaps Sofia’s mission in this world is done. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Hi, Malu. Thanks for writing. I was so eager to learn from your experience and success with Clarissa but other things were meant to be.
