Eduino, my amazing grandfather was a, in my eyes heroic man. He and my grandmother both left everything they knew in Acores, to come to the U.S. to give thier six young children a better life.
Years later, they also both raised myself, and my cousins, and they truly were the set of second parents not many are blessed to have growing up.
My grandfather was always a healthy man, he would walk everywhere as he did not drive. I remember, he would make an amazing kale soup that we all loved so much. He would put aside a small pot of it for me and walk to my house -a good walk away- just to make sure I got some.
However, dispite being healthy for so much of his life, my grandfather contracted Shingles in summer 2008. He recoverd, but had however said he never felt the same since. Finally, in late March he began not feeling well, and had a stroke.
It was found he had Pancreatic Cancer. After the stroke, he was not much the same. He didnt always remember us, however at times he did. He ended up being brought to my Godmother, his daughters home, to be cared for, during his last week. He died, at home, with her, and the rest of his children and grandchildren nearby.
He will always be missed, and living on eternally in our hearts.
Please, do us all a favor, and educate yourself on Cancer. Prior to my grandfather contracting this form of Cancer, I had no idea of Pancreatic Cancer's existence.
The fatality rate is 99.99%.
His was found at stage 5, perhaps something could have been seen sooner? We wont ever know now, but maybe if YOU act today, you could help yourself and your loved ones tomorrow.
Missing you..
Oh Vavo, I'm reminded of you all the time. I miss you so much. This week when we were cleaning your house, I went through your draw in the dining room and all the pencils wrapped around the elastic were still there! :') I also found a draw full of old greeting/birthday cards from over the years and realised you and Vava kept them all. I was so happy, I didnt know we had that in common. I love you and miss you so much. I look forward to when I'll see you again one day, but I know you and Vava are watching over us.

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you..
As you hold me close in memory,
even though we are apart,
my spirit will live on,
there within your heart .
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
and their caring hugs enfold you,
within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon
when we'll finally be together,
where love will be eternal
and life will last forever.
I am with you always.
SLEEP TIGHT MY SWEET ANGEL
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i could not stay
Iam sorry that i couldn't stay
i wanted to you know,but my time
on earth had ended,so god said i had to go
do you know that i still love you?
do you know that i still care?
just because you can't seee me,
doesn't mean i am not there,
i will be there in the darkness
i will be there in the rain
i'll be there when your happy
i will be there through the pain
death can not destroy the bond god as made
or the love that we still share.our hopes
our dreams,our thoughts are one
trust your hearts and know i am there.so keep
the faith,don't give up hope one day you'll
understand,god is still great god is still good
now live the life planned
a bond unspoken can never be broken
it's a mere token of our love so unil we meet again
i love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Father
My wonderful and loving father - how I miss you each and every day. You will always be in my heart. I love you! May you rest in peace in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ!
ANGELS WINGS
At the ending of the day when I'm weary
after a waterfall of tears have all been cried-
and I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary-
nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
just close my eyes to block all the sorrow-
wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
to do it all again- tomorrow.
And then I feel it-
inside me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings.
The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
and I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
the eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
and I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?
And then I feel it-
inside me. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
your lovin' angel wings. (Thank God for your angel wings)

⊱♥⊰ ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR... ⊱♥⊰~
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
