Not a happy blog yet…..

Sorry I cant write a happy blog yet… Im guess im going through the most diificult time I have encounter in 42 years (not bad) but everything is ok and calm and we are determined to be positive and happy no matter what.Thursday I spent the whole day with my mom and dad at the Cardiovascular Center, the cateterism revealed that my father has to go through an open heart surgery they have to make 4 bypasses.After the initial shock we have understood that this is much more common than we thought and that many people that we know at least one person in their family has been through this and they are ok.So we are positive.The surgeon although young is one of the best we have here in PR and he does many of the heart transplant that are done here.I like him very much when I talk to him he is very human.So on monday he is going to tell us a possible day(he is very busy) for the surgery.Also the Cardiovascular Center is the best in the Caribbean the people of the other island come here to get their surgery.So God willing everything is going to be allright but I know it is going to be very difficult.My parents are staying with me because they live in another town 2 hours from the center.On other things, we finally know the results of my sister in law autopsy.The result? Nothing …. yes nothing the pathologist didnt find anything that could have cause her death. No signs of embolia, her organs were all fine. Make your own conclusions, we know what happened.Yesterday was Gabriel (one of my nephews)20 birthday we all went to our favorite one that has a family we have gone for many many years. It was the first one without his mom.But he was not alone we were all there more that 30.Although bittersweet we had a good time.I am enjoying Bees blog a lot but I already miss John!!!Im going to get bored LOL What I am going to do with the hours that I spend reading the blog?? Get to my normal life I guess…… JA!

Carnival Fun Ship Inspiration back on 1997

John wrote today about the “New and Improve Carnival Inspiration”.I brought back many good memories of our kids first cruise ever.Cristian was just 3 and Viviana was 7.I can almost hear Cristian shouting “El Inspiratiooooon” It was their “trial” if they behave they will be back.They passed the test with flying colors. They have a great time at Camp Carnival, they saw and enjoy the shows and ate at the dinning room. They also fell in love with cruises and enjoy them to the fullest even the most simple detail.Now we are a team and after many years and cruises they have graduated to the Med and the Carnival Freedom were they also behave walking without complaining for hours and hours.They grow up so fast it has been a blessing to have been able to share all this experiences with them .Enjoy the pictures of my kids first cruise , Yes on a Carnival ship!!

Inspiration 1997!

A long week, its good to be a Christian and special family

A long and terrible week is over.We are at peace and calm.We been like that since Thursday, we have talked and many things that we didnt know had help us in many ways.My husband is at peace, one or her nephews(the oldest) gave him a message from his mother and my husband understood it was Gods will. They talk and cry together and it helped a lot.It helped us all.One of my sister’s in law friends and co worker also came forward and gave my mother in law a message that made her understand.Its a long story and my english vocabulary is somewhat limited.My sister in law has gone through a lot, her husband, a good man with bipolar disorder has made her life very difficult in many ways.She was tired and she wanted peace, maybe the Lord gave her what she wanted. I dont know but it was Gods will, the doctors cant explain what happened.When Friday came at the funeral home we all display the Christian peace and people were surprise to see of all calm and serene.Oh my God I wish you could have seen the amount of people that went to that place…..From 10 am to midnight that place was full and there was no one else in that funeral home only my sister in law and building and chapel were full.We are together and strong as always.The boys, my boys are fine, Im ver proud of them.My sister in law would be very proud of her family we were there like she would have wanted us to be. Gina we love you, your family will be together always and we will take care of your pollitos and they will be happy I promise.

Worst day of my life

Is with extreme sadness that I write this blog.I have to let it out somehow because I have to be strong for my husband and my children.My sister in law Gina passed away this morning. She was just 45.Oh my God is soooo hard! My sister in law was the only woman of a family of 5 children she and my mother in law were inseparable.We share the same birthday May 19 but she was 3 years older than me. Three months ago she suffered from diverticulitis,and it was so bad that they had to cut some intestine and put a bag.it was only for 3 months and then they will remove the bag.The operation was yesterday and she came up fine.She was ok everything went well and this morning talking to one of the nurses she just die.They think it was an embolia or something massive.It has been 2 difficult years for us but nothing compares to this.
She has 3 boys 23, 20 and 18 all good boys.They were the ones that I went to the Adventure of the Seas because my sister in law was sick.She is not going to see them marry and have children Why? I have to be strong Im going to fight for my family to continue to be what they were. but Im afraid, It is going to pass I know, but it is sooo hard.
