Hello!

Happy MOTHER'S DAY to everyone!

this is dedicated to those without mothers...

~ May 10th, 1989.

Five year old Betty, 13 year old Hilda and their father were walking inside a bedroom with a sleeping women. Carrying cards, tray of food and bags full of gifts.

"On three, Betty," Daiy said.

1...2...3...

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!" both girls shouted jumping on the bed.

Rose, fully awake now, laughed sitting up in bed. "Morning girls."

"Happy mother's day mom!" Hilda said handing her a card.

"Oh thank you girls!" Rosa said taking the card and read it out loud.

To Mama,

You've done so much for our family. We thank you very much. Now take a day to relax and enjoy us doing what we do best.

Shopping, thinking about boys, shopping, shopping and SHOPPING! ~Hilda
Cooking for the love of my life and my two wonderful daughters ~ Duke

So enjoy today and take a rest. Because your the mother who knows best.

"Oh my. . . thank you everyone!" Rosa said with tears in her eyes and hugged Hilda and Betty. "I love you both so much!"

Hilda and Betty stood at a graveyard. Looking down at the grave stone that held the powerful words to make them cry.

Here lie's the body of

Rosa Maša Delgado-Suarez

1953-1992

R.I.P

"What do you think she's doing right now, Betty?" Hilda asked.

"She's looking down on us. Smiling. Your smile." Betty said placing flowers down on the grave. "Hey mama. It's Betty. I'm sorry I haven't visit you lately. I've miss you so much."

Hilda placed her flowers down too, but could move because of her pregnant belly. "Hi mama. It's Hilda. I'm sorry I haven't visit you either. I missed you too."

Both girls just sit or stand at the grave. Looking at the grave. Their mother was too young to die. 39 wasn't very good to die at. Tuberculosis and heart failure. Two terrible health problems that killed their mother. But both girls saw their mother in themselves.

Hilda had the smile or Rosa attitude of Rosa. Betty had her mother's eyes and curly hair.

A wind was flying by as the two girls stood at the grave. The wind was the sound of a lullaby.

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanaita ella. Mi nina tiene sueno, bendito sea, bendito sea. A la nanita nana nanita ella nanaita ella. Mi nina tiene sueno, bendito sea, bendito sea. Fuertecita que corre, clara y sonora. Fui senor que la selva cantando llora. Galla mientras la cuna, se balansea. A la nanita nana nanita ella nanaita ella.

"We can all learn a lesson from Rosa, she showed us all courage and strength in hard times. We will all miss her, but we have our special memories of her and her memory will always live on. She was the one that showed the the meaning of life. Now the meaning of like is now with God, but she will never leave our hearts. She was had the biggest heart and I will forever miss her, thank you." Ignacio stepped away from the podium sat down next to Hilda and Betty.

"We miss you mama." Betty said. "We'll try to come back some more."

"We love you too," Hilda said. "So does papi. Just may not know you, but I know he loves you."

Both girls smiled as Betty stood up. They both said, "Happy Mother's Day, Mami."

Enjoy!
