October Loss

Time flew and we were already in October, month that good things happens and it was a month of a huge loss too.

Since last year when my gpa had the stroke, he was in and out of hospitals sometimes just for a short time and others not that short, it was a time of great suffer for the whole fam and we really try to be strong and even more united, not only for us but specially for him, he need that strength and he take it part from us, great part from his love to my gma and the fear to live her here and also from God.

But this year was a really tough year to him and to all of us too, he was getting weaker, and it seems that he was giving up of the battle, his body was getting tired of so much hospital and so his mind, heart and soul. We try to keep him happy and give him the best quality of life at home or at hospital. Me and my sisters we try to visit him as much as we could and sleep over with him, even if we have to work in the morning after, we all tried to do our best for him, since somehow we know that his last days were about to come.

So by the end of September we went back to the hospital, for what was one of his last time there and in the middle of October he passed away, peacefully. I cannot say that he left us, because he was here for almost 92 years and who are we to hold him here more? I cannot say that was easy for some of us to let him go nor even for himself was that easy, but I believe that was the best thing, he was suffering, was not the gpa/dad/friend that we knew and as much that we would miss him the things we want to the most was see him happy and good.

As he wished in life we did all he wanted, dressed him with the outfit he had chosen, buried him on the vertical cemetery (that does not look as a cemetery at all) and his funeral was not a funeral, was more like a party as I know he would love to, all the family and friends who loved, admired and have had the privilege to live with him, to have him on their lives were there. Mum read some words that she wrote that made us cry and laugh. In fact it was the most beautiful funeral that I have ever been.

So Gpa, rest in peace, you deserve it.
Love

When Setember ends...

One more short charpter from 2009, now lets go back to September...good month...

September starts with a nice wedding of a friend Prim Prim ( I will add the pic after..). It was a nice wedding, she was happy and so the groom, my sister was one of the bridesmaid as people call in US, but here in Brazil we do it in a diferent way, we have couples each side to be the godparents of the couple who is getting married (I will dedicate a post about it later).

I believe and as far as I could see everybody was happy and just enjoying the moment..I wish they have a very happy and successeful life full of great things...

Just after that I flew to US to do a sweet surprise to my mum-in-law to be for her 50th B day and wedding...she loved it. We have a full house and a weekedn full of celebrations. The greatest thing was not only her terrific party where it was impossible to be still or just drinking and eating the great food, but also that surprise the great part of the guests with the announcement of her wedding that happened in the same day but earlier and which was beautiful, and that i of course i have cried.

But as everything that is wonderful do not last that much i have to go back to work in Brazil, where I start to help one of my friends Robertinha with her wedding stuffs, inform to my boss and his boss about when I will leave and see...

I have just got better after have some Vick spread on my chest, back and neck...such a relief! and all this I have to thank to my docdoc Hubby, who took a good care of me.

So I am here today just to thank to all the one who make my life better, for being there for me, for loving me as I am...I am so blessed to have so many great people in my life...yes in it, of course we have a bunch of people that come and go, that leave part of them with us, took some of us with them, make us suffer, help us grow, share moments of joy, hurt us, love us...so I am grateful to all of them...for the good and bad things...Thank you all my friends...the fam that i choose!!!

Domingo tem cara de....


Pensamento longe....

E desejo de uma otima semana para todos...

Domingo

O que seria da segunda se nao fosse o domingo....?

Nao sei porque mas domingo sempre tem um gosto de despedida, de fim de festa, um quê meio nostalgico...o pior é quando pensamos, poxa..amanhã já é segunda começa tudo outra vez...

Quando na verdade deveriamos pensar, Humm que bom..tive um final de semana produtivo/ relaxante, onde pude curtir uma praiana, um choppinho no fim de tarde, um cineminha, namorei um pouco, ri com os amigos, pude colocar minha leitura em dia, ouvi um otimo cd, saí para dançar, liguei para aquele amigo que mora longe, almocei com a familia, dormi até tarde, dormi tarde, tomei aquele café da manhã, consegui ler o jornal, tomei aquele sorvete geladinho, fiquei de bobeira...enfim são tantas pequenas coisas, pequenos momentos de felicidade que muitas vezes deixamos passar, ou como se diz em ingles, we take for granted, ou seja acabamos nem considerando, só pensando que mais uma semana de muito trabalho vai começar, que vamso nos estressar com aquele cliente ou até mesmo com o colega de trabalho, que ficaremos sem a companhia de nossos amigos, longe de nossos amores, tao ocupado em estar ocupado que so isso nos estressa, na verdade tudo nos estressa...até é claro chegar a tão sonhada, desejada e esperada Sexta-feira....
