Saturday and still in my PJ's enjoying my third cup of coffee here in my comfy home in Fresno, California. I live in the middle of town on a quiet street full of big beautiful trees that are shedding leaves all over the neighborhood. It is a street that had the privilege of having Jeannette visit it one day in 2008. She walked into the home and immediately wanted to know which were her nieces bedrooms as she made her way down the hallway. Bianca and Ashlee smiled and hugged their loving auntie as she told them that she was going to Bed Bath n Beyond and buying them the whole set for their bedrooms. Before I could blink an eye, all three were in her big SUV heading down the street and to the store. They returned holding big bags of comforters, sheets, pillows and accessories for their individual bedrooms. Jeannette told me that her biggest joy in life was making her family happy.
During her last Thanksgiving in Fresno she expressed to all of us how much she loved us. Just having her at the dinner table smiling back at me made me happy. I knew she didn't eat nothing on her plate and I also knew she was in pain but I had to hide my tears in order not to spoil her hidden battle going on inside her body so that she could make all the family believe she was "Just Fine," when they asked her how she was. My beautiful daughter, oh how I miss her. She loved all her friends, family and especially our living God.
That is why she lives in Heaven now.
