Dear papa,
I´ve been thinking of you a lot still. I think you would be very proud to know that Megan, Haley, and I finished high school. Even though we are still confused about life and our next paths. I love you and miss you very much. I know you are watching over all of us every day though. Times have been tough and we all have been going through a lot. I feel your presence with me though and it helps a bit. It´s very comforting to think of little things that remind me of you. I know Nana misses you a lot too. She still loves you with all her heart. We all miss you very much. You would have loved to get to know little diva Emily to grow.
Love,
Catie

I can't believe how time flew. I can't believe you been gone this long. Me, caitlin , and Emily went to see you today. Hope you like the flowers they picked out for you. Anyways just want you to know that your oldest grandbaby is going to be going to the prom and then graduating. You would be so proud of them. Caitlin is growing up too fast, you would be very proud of her especially, she helps out the most. Too bad you couldn't see all 3 of them growing up. Caitlin really misses you. Try and make a visit to her when she's sleeping. Alot is going to be happening the next month so give us some good luck. Miss you a lot.

Dear Papa,
It's been a while since anyone has wrote to you. I love you and miss you so veryyyyy much. It's been hard trying to cope with all this still. Your always going to be in my heart and I promise I would never forget you. I started my first year in high school now and im really trying hard to make you happy. I want to be something special when I grow up. I've been volunteering at the library a lot lately and it's been fun. Megan is in her last year in school. I'd say we are doing at least decent. You've been on my mind everyday lately. I recently saw you at your grave and I couldn't help but to burst out in tears, but I'm trying to stay strong because I know you want me to stay happy.

Hi Daddy it's me again just wanted to let you know that Caitlin really likes school and she didn't even cry her first day like I thought she would but I guess you were there watching and making sure she didn't but I almost did... Wow you see your grandbabies are growing up already...

See you later.....

Hey Daddy, Hows it going...Just wanted you to know that Megan and Caitlin start school on Wednesday...Hopefully Caitlin won't be scared so do me that favor and watch over her. Wow I can't believe that both of my babies are in school..where did all that time go? I just wished that time would rewind to when they were just babies and when you were here..
Nothing feels the same anymore..I have alot on my mind..I remember always talking to you and you would always know what to say to cheer me up..

I finally got the chance to make homemade pierogis for the first time.
Charlene helped me though and they were good...George and Megan ate alot of them. I made them by myself on Sunday and they came out good and they didn't even open up so I guess I made them right..HA!HA!
I'm going to drop by this week to see you with the kids.
Good Night Daddy

Your daughter-in-law

HAPPY 4th of July

Happy Father's Day

Love from all of us

George, Megan, Caitlin & Laura Nunez

Hi Papa
I miss you. I will visit you this weekend. Guess what I made it to the third grade and I got good grades. I love you Papa.
LOVE MEGAN

Hi Papa
Thanks for making me feel better.. I was sick and now I feel better. I Love you

Hey Daddy,
Hows it going up there...Megan and Caitlin have been asking about you. I told them once the snow clears that we will come and visit you. We are lost without you. Lately I can't sleep. Just thinking what would it be like having you still here and being all better. I miss talking to you. You were the one to make me feel better when I had things on my mind. I need to ask you a favor and look out for Megan..shes been having problems in school.
I can't believe these kids are getting so old and it makes me feel that way. Your Caitlin will be going to school in a few months and I don't know how she is going to take it knowing that she likes being around me all the time so when that happens I'll be asking you for another favor.
I told Megan and Caitlin that I'll write to you today because they wanted me to say HI to their PAPA.
Well I guess I'll let you go right now...until next time
Love always
your daughter-in-law

YOUR LITTLE GIRL
If I had my life to do over I still would have chosen you to be my dad once more.Even if it ment losing you again it is worth all the tears in the world.I love you and honor you.You took all my tears away I was always happy to be right by your side.And very proud to be your little girl.Sometimes we would argue but to me you mean the world.Your love was so pure you always treated me so good.The time we spent now it all seems way too short and now I feel lost and so alone.My heart is completely crushed but nothing loved is ever lost and you are loved so very much.............

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Just wanted you to know that I am already missing you..You were the one person that I can really confide in..Things will never be the same without you...I want you to know that we will try and do our best with taking care of Momma...So I guess I'll talk to you later..
Love always,
your daughter-in-law
Laura

GOODBYE
When it is time to say goodbye to all the love a daughter has ever known.When it is time to end all your pain and leave me all alone.I have watched you on your good days when I can feel you have the strength.But shortly after the little ups,The downs came right back and bit you.We ride the roller coaster of emotions as we try to make it through another day.And yet I can not deny that as I look into your face on days that have ben bad.I see a look of being tired,hurt,pain and sad.The little spark I used to see behind those loving eyes is growing even clouder by lifes cruel side.

I try to see beyond the pain you feel with every day that passes. And softly whisper to my self that things may get better.If I can bear to watch you just another day or two I justify my reasons and I cling to you.For letting go is harder for the person left behind.It means that if I let you go I can not turn back time.But now the lights are darkening we take it daily now.I can not see my future clear or think beyond this cloud.I think the hardest part of all this is never knowing why or when.I have to be strong and I have to say goodbye.

For if I let myself admit it is time to let you go I would have to face reality without you. But I know soon I have to face the final outcome that I dread and holding on will only hurt you in the end.You have given me an unselfish love for all my time.But if I hold to tightly you will not move toward the light on to a better life where you can be free.Free of all the pain that holds you here with me.So if I can find the courage just to say goodbye.I hope you will forgive me for how long it has taken me.Still I will hold with me the memories and deep in my heart is where thay will remain.Goodbye dad we will all miss you so much.......


This is 1 of the poems I wrote for my dad.......I LOVE YOU DAD AND I WILL MISS YOU PLEASE WATCH OVER ALL OF US AND BE OUR ANGEL.....

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
