15 years ago, possibilités, we did everything we could do to avoid becoming reality. You were a vascular disaster we staved off as long as possible, but...of one of the deadly 3 threats. You chose stroke. Not your best decision after watching your father go the same. But we were given a week to comfort each other together. Singing, bonding. Healing. The strongest cried the hardest, he missed so much, but she didn´t. She loved and knew you too, and like she believed I could be anything I wanted, she was certain you´ll be something great. Time has passed without her and we both accomplished our goals. Judgements were good, judgements didn´t work out. Difference exist which only recourse is acceptance to satisfy you dream. I see you and I know you guide me and offer your love and wisdom - disappointment, yes.
Everyone happy, yes

So it worked, your kids, grandkids are all successful and happy.
In the end your love trump´s disappointment and carries the sweet soul of peace - to share with our children. Never forgot you

I know you are with Jesus. The female living version and love of you was unavoidable.
All the struggle is over. You still inspire. You still talk to me in all our private sessions with Larry Renetsky and others. Those talks made the difference.
We will be together soon now.
