R.I.P. ANGEL SANCHEZ LARA

It is official, my grand-father Angel Sanchez Lara has passed away. May he rest in peace. Sunday (Gods day) around 3:45pm he went with the angels to his final resting place. My cousin Robert was there saying a prayer with all the family and then my grandpa left.... it was as if my cousins prayer released him. Most of our family was able to make a visit and say their good bye's. My cousin Robert came down from San Diego, and my cousin Albert flew in from Colorado. It's so amazing to see cousins and family you haven't seen in a while. Unfortunately the last time we saw eachother was for my cousin Albert's father's funeral. . . it actually wasn't that long ago, just a couple of months, we all flew to Colorado for the services. Death is when we come together. Most of us don't keep in touch like we use to, however when anyone in our family needs support we are there in a second and that is what family is about right? This was my mom's father, her mother passed away about 2 years ago. It is important that since both parents are gone we still maintain some sort of contact with the family, we don't let it slowly go away... I have been chosen to use my artistic ways and created a collage of the family's photos for the services... I know i was chosen because everyone knows I come up with created things to do, I also know it's because I'm the only one that has thousands of photos and I'm sure I can come up with some great ones. Larry and I started working on it last night, it's fun to see old pictures of all of my cousins, aunts and uncles from back in the day... well this is all for now... the viewing is Thursday and the funeral Sunday... I'll keep you posted on anything new

On a brighter note, yesterday was mine and Larry's 2 year anniversary. On friday he had a beautiful arrangement of flowers sent to my work with an Anniversary balloon... SOOOO sweet and romantic... They were "star gazers" I love these flowers they are sooo pretty and smell soo good. On Saturday he gave me a beautiful card that made me get teary eyed about love and enjoying being together. He also gave me two tickets to Disneyland.... (hmmm I wonder who I will take lol) just kidding, he knows how much I love that place it just sets me free I swear. And Sunday he gave me another card (which I was just happy to see another card) this one was more of a thanks, for sticking around... I loved it just as much as the other. And Monday, our actual anniversary we lounged around together, as you can tell this weekend was a ruff one with the family and doing misc things to help out, so in the evening to just hang out and relax together was sooo perfect for me and just needed. We played card games, laughed and talkd. Well, when there's bad there's always good, I'm just glad Larry was the one I shared my good with, and if I had to go thru bad, I'm glad my family was there to support thru that....
