I am, sitting here at my desk at my job and I am visiting this site that Marie just sent me and I remember my sweet Viejita. I can almost see myself walking down Third Avenue in our El Barrio where we have so many beutiful memories of our Sweet Mamita. I remember when she would call me to tell me to come down to her apartment because she wanted to go down 3rd Avenue and she needed me to go with her. It was always a pleasure to go shooping with Mamita. She made a big event of the simplest little outing. She always rewarded whoever went with her shooping by buying something for that person. We always shop for groceries and her sewing materials. We always went to the Material Store where she loved to shop for materials to make her dresses or the bags that she used to make and give to whoever wanted them. Like Nelly said it was always her pleasure to give without getting anything back in return. That was our sweet Mamita. She was always so sweet to others and so kind. That is why everyone cherishes her like no one else. She was a special person always ready to give a helping hand to whoever needed help. Mamita I love you and you are always part of me I always keep you close to my heart. When I find myself missing you, all I have to do is turn the clock back in time and transport myself to your apartment and see myself there with you doing things or helping you in anything I could. I remembered when I needed to have my pants hemmed up and I would bring them to you. You hemmed up my pants right away and wasted no time. Now I am gone have to go to Sandra to help me hemmed up my pants whenever I need to. Thank you Mamita for always being there for me and Danny. I am sorry if I ever offended or make you cried in any way but you know that if I ever did it was not my intention because I love you so much to ever do anything in purpose to make you cry. I love you forever and I know that you are watching over all of us. I love My beatifull Viejita Linda. You are forever my heart. Love, Your Daughter Vicky.
