Mom I know if you were here how dumb you would think this is...like Rocky sitting by the grave of Adrian... But this might help so here it is. I miss you more than anything in this world and it just is so horrible that people must die.I think about you everyday and to this day I have not been able to move on with my life at all. My depression is overwhelming and I am very blue. I think of your words everyday on how depression is selfish. You are so right, how can you be depressed when there are so many worse off, that in essense indicates how depression can be self centered. I love you mom and I wish you were still here. Love Lou.

There goes another bus eee doe. Love ya ma.

Thought I would stop by here for all that it is worth. My real contact with you is spiritual anyways. I remember watching the newest Rocky with you and you told me how stupid it was for a person to sit by a grave and talk to a skeleton. Like God I can talk to you anywhere. Nonetheless I miss you tremendously. I lost my best friend and I have ansolutely no one to talk to. Love Lou. If I had a choice between one million dollars or a day with you, I would choose the latter.

Mom going through an exceedingly hard time, the 2nd worse trial of my life, please look out for me, I was taught to pray, to have faith, it is hard to have faith when nothing gets answered, it is/was your monumental faith that keeps me going and I wish I had 10 percent of your strength, I am a prisoner in my own body, going at it again and I need you to unlock something for me up there, let them know I am here and struggling.I can't give up, but like those that suffer from chronic depression and dependence I see nothing, please channel some prayers for me up there Mom, I need them more than ever, Love always.

She was my Cousin. She treated me like I was a Son. When I was a teenager some of the best and most memorable time were spent with her. Norma was one of the kindest, most loving, special people I have ever known.
Rest in Peace my Dear Loving First Cousin. Please tell all of our precious family I love and miss them?

Mom please tell me, your time here with me, I MADE it worth you living. I know at times I was miserable, but I was here 24/7 365X7. Too proud to ask for help, I WAS A FOOL! We never let the sun set on anger and we always prayed for a better day. Mom, I did my best, and I lived up to what I said I was going to do, never put you in a nursing home. Mom, I need to erradicate this guilt that I wasn't strong enough to keep you here longer. I love you Mom. Mom, I don't know if I can make it. Help. PLease God help me in Jesus name. I am so afraid.
