So this is us 5 years later…Happy Anniversary in heaven Raul. All is well with us as the kids continue to grow and I learn how to do it all without you. My mom told me early on that I would never get over it, however, I would eventually get used to it. I’ve reached that milestone and I’m grateful for that because getting to this place wasn’t so easy. I can finally see a future without the heavy weight of you not being in it. Somehow it all feels lighter now. They say time heals a broken heart…Now it’s time to live and I plan to do just that. My heart is repaired and open to all the possibilities that may come…In the meantime I’m quite busy living life. Raffy & Paloma are keeping me on my toes. They will enter second grade in the fall as they turn 8 years old. They are both growing leaps and bounds in every way possible. They will return from summer sleep away camp this week. I’m looking forward to that as I’ve missed them quite a bit. I’m excited to hear all their stories. They are both coming into their own and they couldn’t be more different. What they have in common is that they are both the good human beings envisioned we would raise. You may not be with them, however, rest assured I’m raising them in a way that would make you proud. They are both quite curious and full of adventure. Never a dull moment for sure. I think of you often. It would be hard not to, living with Paloma, who is so much like you, side eye and all. We feel your presence all around us and we keep the memories of you alive in our hearts. We celebrate you today and everyday. Where ever you are, know that you are loved. Thank you for your continued support. I’ve been getting all of your messages. Keep them coming…Until then we plan to live and take advantage of all this world has to offer until the one day comes that we reunite again. We love you to the moon and back Raul! 🙏❤️ 🌕
