Are you having a party over there?
Are my sister and our crazy lot there partying with you?
I still cannot believe you died the day after I finally arrived in Uruguay.
It took me 47 years to get there and just before I got to see you you took your last breath.
When at your home I had the opportunity to see your character, your wit, your humour – your life within four walls and for that I am grateful – but I didn’t get to see you.
Mum had the opportunity to start the grieving process in your home and when she was choosing little momentos to bring home she chose this photo for me.
Hahaha, I look great in J-Lo’s body 😉.
I cannot imagine what you were thinking but it is funny and it makes me laugh.
This photo now has its place on my fridge as it did yours and it’s a great reminder of you.
You left us too young; your loss changed my life and although the loss is bittersweet it got me moving and motivated to improve my health and well-being.
Soon after returning from Uruguay I changed my eating habits and started moving more.
From then until now I have lost 34 kgs and I’ve even gone ahead with the surgeries to remove the excess skin.
Your passing motivated this weight loss and my sister’s passing motivated me to have the gastric sleeve surgery 10 years ago.
You both lost your battles with cancer – too young and I don’t want to do the same.
It’s your birthday but you are no longer with us.
I am burning a yellow candle for you but I don’t know what else to say or do.
I have thought about you and like usual I smile when doing so because you had such a warm and strong presence.
I try not to live with regret but I am sorry that I didn’t have the chance to spend more time with you – and I would have loved the opportunity to celebrate more birthdays with you too.
Hmmm.
Happy Birthday Andrea 💔
