She said, "Ma, Let's Go to the Fair one Last Time."

It was October, 2008.  She surprised me when she drove herself alone from Thousand Oaks, Ca. to visit me.  I was stunned and surprised when I opened my door to find her standing there with suitcase in hand and a big smile.  I totally lost it and cried.  My baby girl was with me and all to myself.  She said she wanted us to go to the Fresno Fair one last time.  As soon as we arrived at the Fair she told me, "Ma, let's go get Cinnamon rolls and coffee.  I said o.k. and so we walked around and found it.  We sat down every chance we could so she could rest.  We headed for the horse races.  She put a bet on a random horse and won $25.00. We both laughed so much.  Then we went to the exhibits and took pictures.  I asked her if she was feeling tired and she said no.  At around 8:00 P.M. we left.  She was happy but exhausted at the same time.  This is one of my good memories of her and I.  I remember thinking to myself as we walked around the fair how sad it would be without her and then I felt like crying but didn't so she could have fun with me.  I thank God for giving me a beautiful time with her.
