I came to see you today honey, I've been short in my visits and I'm sorry but I know you understand. My heart is so heavy it's almost unbearable at times. I read her a story today, holding it up to her as if she could really see the colorful pages. My eyes blurred with tears as I stared at the heart wreath I made for her and the newborn onesie tied to it. If your with her, please give her a big kiss and tell her that Nana will always her. I love you honey xo

Mari Sarricola Hachmeister

February 14, 2015

In Memory of Marietta Alexis Sarricola. 2015-2015. I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today. I asked him what makes a mommy and daddy and then I heard him say. A mommy has a baby, this we know is true, but God can you be a mother if you're babies not with you? Yes you can, God replied with confidence in his voice. I give many women babies, when they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a lifetime and other's for a day. And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay. I just don't understand this God, I want our baby to be here. God took a deep breath and cleared his throat and then I saw a tear. I wish that I could show you what your child is doing today. And you could see your child smile with all the other children and say, we go to earth to learn our lessons of life and love and fear. My mommy and daddy loved me so much, I got to come right here. I feel so lucky to have a mommy and daddy who have so much love for me. I learned my lessons quickly so God had sent for me. I miss you mommy and daddy but I visit you every day. And when you go to sleep at night, your pillow is where I lay. I stroke your head and kiss your cheek and I whisper in your ear, mommy and daddy don't be sad today, I'm your baby I'm right here. So you see my dear one's, I am your God, and your child is ok. Your baby was born here in my arms, and my home is where she'll stay. She'll wait for you with me, until your lessons through. And on the day when you come home, she will be waiting here for you.... God please keep her safe and watch over Brandon and Michelle

Honey please help us cope with the death of Brandons little girl. My heart is breaking my numbness is un bearable, why couldn't the Lord take me instead. Give me strength to help him and Michelle especially in this week. Please tell my mama to send them a message to let them know little marietta is safe in her arms. I have no where else to turn so please answer my prayers. Mama please help us.

Merry Christmas Honey. As I left you today, I thought you may send me our usual sign. I almost gave up towards the end of the day, and there it was.

September 1, 2014

They say time heals, or it just takes time. Sometimes I feel like I am not Living at all but just existing. Going through the motions. Waiting for another day to pass. I wonder if you can see me. Or where you are. Hoping that your happy, hoping that your with Tiff. I pray that your not mad at me for the argument we had. I think about it all the time. Sometimes comforted that during that time, we never stopped calling each other honey. I can still hear your voice, your exact tone, your perfect way you called me honey. It's so hard to go on without you. My kids tell me that I'm different now. That I'm not the same person I used to be. .
I don't know how I could be when chunks of my heart are missing. Sometimes I am just so angry at the world I guess. I remember what you use to tell me. You taught me more than you will ever know. I love you honey with all my heart. xoxo

Hi honey, just wanted to say hi. I saw you the other night in my dreams. Wish we would have talked more. I like when you come to see me. Maybe if you're not too busy, come back for a while and stay longer. I miss you honey. Please watch over the boys, you know who can use some help. I know that your very proud of him, just keep him close. I love you honey.?

I wish you were right next to me so we could cuddle, nights will never be the same. If I could only have one night one more. Thank god no one can can erase my memories, I cherish all of them. OK thought this would make me sleepy but just crying now, so I guess I'll see just see you in the morning. I love you honey.

Loosing track of the date, I woke in the night thinking of you, it was hours before I was able to fall back to sleep. This morning I realized it was the thirteenth and I had missed my candle lighting the day before.
I was going through an old box of cards that we had given each other. I smiled when I discovered that at different occasions we had given each other the same card! Flipping through my Love is Book, as I saved every single one you cut from the paper, I could hear me saying " honey how come I didn't get a Love is this week?" You would say "Honey only if they apply"it was those little things that were so special. And now I only can send you my letters honey, knowing that if it were possible, you would write back. Loving you always and forever xoxo......

I listened to the message that you sent me the friday before. I don't play it too often as it is so difficult. I just love it. And as I always, press it to my ear, I can almost feel your breath. Hearing your voice is like needed air for my lungs. And just for a minute its like we are the only two there. I just listen,
Always answering " I love you too".........

Herd a Christmas song on the radio today honey, almost like you meant it for me to hear. And yes I cried. I know my visit was short yesterday but I was pressed for time, just couldn't last much longer without saying hi to you. Ill be back soon with Christmas things for you and Tiff. This craziness with my work will soon be over and I can't wait to spend more time with you. Always in my thought and forever in my heart, I love you...

November 23, 2013

I feel like I haven't written you forever! I may have missed a month on paper but your with me every day in my thoughts honey. Time seems to go by so fast. Not much time for me as always! And now with the business I am so tired! As always you were right honey, you told me it would kill me, sometimes that's how I feel! I miss coming to see you anytime I want seems like I have no time to myself these days! Feels so weird to see someone strange living in your house, I never like to pass that way anymore. I miss you so much, your hugs, boy do I miss and could use one of your hugs. I miss holding your hand, there's times I can almost feel your hand I mine. I'm out somewhere and think I see someone that looks like you and can't help from starring! Sometimes I'm working by myself in deep thought of you and someone at that moment will say or do something that reminds me of you! Is that you? Your way of letting me know your near? I hope so honey! I will love no other. Until were together again. Just sending some hugs and kisses, I love you.....

6/12/13 How I will hate tomorrow, two years or 730 days, I could probably count hour by hour, minute by minute. Right down to every second and what we did on the day you left this world! I relive every moment, every word, step by step, over and over within my every breath. I can still remember the feeling that passed through my body, unknown to me, like no other I have ever felt. Right before I got the call. From that moment forward, my life as I knew it changed. My heart now broken. I learned from you, you know. How to carry on, for others, smile, and be happy. But just half happy, right honey! I'm getting older, not many wrinkles, just the ones that form frown lines, many frown lines. I truly believe you are watching honey, and just when I seam to fall apart, your there, in my dream, comforting me, letting me truly feel your arms around me. Your visits are short but always so real, and your timing perfect. You would always say "honey I'm right here" and I believe you will always be.
I miss you so much, sometimes I wish my life would speed up a bit! But I know this is the way God intended and ill just have to wait. Two nights ago in my dream you said you had to go. I remember I asked if you could take me with you and you told me you couldn't. I believe that someday we will be together again. For now, some hugs and kisses.... I love you honey.

I think of you every day when I'm there, and how on sunday we ate at our favorite place right around the corner. This town has so many memories for me and is why I picked it to open my shop. I love you honey, keeping you close everyday, with hugs and kisses, forever....

Thankyou for leaving me with a piece of your heart, your hugs and kisses forever, and ever..... xoxo

Mari Hachmeister

February 19, 2013

Just when I start to think you might forget me, there you are! Thank you honey, I needed that hug so. Sometimes it seems so real I wish I never woke up. Its never long enough for me,
My emptiness abounds me, loneliness is a part of my life as I truly understand how it feels to live now with a broken heart. It helps to write you, and I know you are watching as it takes me a long time wiping tears that fill my eyes so I can see. Know one will ever know our closeness even with our distance. Then and even now! I love you honey, I can't wait til your next visit.....

Another month has gone by, my life is so consumed. Sometimes I truly think you have something to do with that. If it wasn't so busy I probably would have gone crazy without you by now.
I try my best to go on, as I learned from you. As you would always say "I put a smile on my face for everyone else" but I'm always sad on the inside! It took me a half hour to chip the ice away from your stone, that was after I had saw that the grounds workers rolled over your flowers crushing them to a pulp. I probably won't be putting anything out for Valentines day honey! Its a slushy lake out there! I can't wait until its nice, so I can come sit with you in my chair, the sun in my face, warm, peaceful. My alone time, time with you....my valentine. I love you honey, I miss you so much. xoxo

Please honey, protect her and keep her safe, I'm not strong enough to endure any more pain. Please watch over us tomorrow, I need you so. Why do I know you can hear me. I still can hear you say, "Honey I'm right here". Ill never stop believing that your not....

12/12/12 Eighteen months to the day, I lost you! And one year ago today my Grandson was born. Today I live without your love, just holding on to our memories. Memories I treasure and thrive on to get through each day. On the 12th of every month for the rest of my life, I go over our last day together, that Sunday the 12th. Our last breakfast at our favorite place. The last time you held my hand. Our last talk, our last words and the way you made me leave not knowing it was the last time I would see you. It was almost like you knew, but you couldn't have, could you? It was the last time you called me honey. I can still hear that so clear, honey! And now on 12/12/12 Andrew Joseph is 1 year old. But you had to already know that too! Right honey?? I Love You.......

A little birdie told me your going to be a Grandpa! Honey I'm so happy. You already know who and I'm sure that you were the first. I know you won't miss a minute and I believe, you will be close by! What a wonderful gift. I love you honey, you know now just how much you completed me. I think that's why to this day your still with me in spirit. Thank you for keeping me close. You would always tell me that you were right here. I believe in you honey! Ill always believe in us! xo

October 12, 2012

They say that time heals. For me I just miss you so much. We talked of this all the time, how after you lost Tiff and I my Mom and then your Mom, life as we knew it would never be the same. You missed Tiff so much we both now would continue in life being just half happy, we talked of living life and death every day, now for the rest of our life. Only we talked of this, only you and I joined each other every Sunday at the Cemetery, visiting first my mom then Tiff your Mom and Dad. I remember when winter came, the snow was deep and you would shovel a path for me to my moms Nitch. Ill never forget the time when you stood in a foot of snow trying to find my Grandma and Grandpa stones. Your feet had to be freezing, but you continued until you found them! My guy a heart of gold. No one knows the things we shared, the thinks we did together, the ways that we were so alike and thought the same way! We were supposed to always do this together. Our Sunday thing. We were suppose to grow old together. And then you were gone, now I do this alone. Our Sunday thing. I sit at your side remembering, crying, sometimes smiling, talking, and almost seeing. You and how you were always by my side. Just half happy. But always together. I miss you Honey. And I love you forever.....xo

Hi honey, had a bad start today, no smily face cookies at the 7 11 and the lady there told me their no longer in the system. I explained how you would get one for me on sundays, and how now I get one for you and bring it to the cemetery. After hearing my story, she said that she would bring them back. :) I was so happy. Then I went to see you and was so surprised to see all the beautiful new grass that I had planted! After I was with you for a while, Dustin pulled up in your hot rod! We talked for some time, it was so good to see him. Turned out to be a better day! I love so much..xoxo.

Today, I want to thank you honey. For your unconditional love and support. For everyone's life you have touched in so many ways.
