Every year on my birthday I knew she would either call me or come down to Fresno to see me. She would make such a fuss about me. Buying me gifts, candy, dinner and movie. I remember one year in particular. It was 2006. She came to Fresno that year. I didn't know it and my other daughter, Diana had made a enchilada dinner for me and had invited my son and his wife along with some other relatives to celebrate my birthday. All of a sudden I hear loud music outside. I peeked out the window and sure enough, it was Jeannette. She loved her music and always played it real loud. I almost tripped over the sofa as I was running outside to great her. She stepped off of her SUV looking absolutely stunning in her cute jeans, boots, sweater. I hugged her and almost cried from joy. Everyone was so happy to see her. It was as if a movie star had come to visit by the reaction of everyone. As usual she brought me so many gifts. One of the gifts was a pink robe with pink slippers. I am currently wearing the robe as I write on this blog. It is warm and it makes me feel as though she is hugging me. These memories of her are what helps me with my grief. I miss her so much.
