I was remembering Christmas of 2008.
Jeannette came that year to Fresno. She was on pain medicines, etc. but managed to gather enough strength to drive down from Thousand Oaks, California. The weather was cold and so she had on her sweater, scarf and coat when she arrived. I noticed a slight cough and asked her about it. She seemed to ignore my question and just kept on talking about how much fun she wanted to have with me. Pobresita mija, she always wanted for me not to stress about her. "Ma, come on let's go see Diana, "she said with a kinda rough sounding voice. We all hanged out together and went to the movies and then after out to dinner. This memory is with me always. I wish I could have her back with me and that she had won her battle with cancer.
