She died of a broken heart

Her heart was broken for the last time by her first love in high school.

I had to check what day it is today. Last week was a blur.

Amalia's mother is the strongest person I know. She arranged everything with love and thanked each and every person for attending, with a soft smile. I told her she was a mama toro.

Mama Toro gave me bad news yesterday. My shower water pipe was cracked due to a 4.5 earthquake 2 days ago. Amalia's old room has a crack right down the middle which lines up with my crack. Mama Toro wondered if there was a vein beneath. Ay yi yi yi.

Good news, the plumber is working on the problem. I am guessing it is going to be costly. Ya think?

I'll return asap unless I fall in that hole!

More sadness

 Sigh. Deep sigh.

Amalia died at her own hand. She hung herself with an electrical cord in her apartment. Her mother found her after receiving a call from a concerned friend. She left a note of apology and love to her mother. The trauma for her mother...I cannot grasp. So unlike her to do this.

Amalia was positive person, all smiles, it is a family trait, a way of life. Everyone is stunned. An old friend messaged me that she recently saw her and she was SO HAPPY, she wrote it in caps.

Amalia's real grandmother came by this morning and we collapsed in each other's arms. Same with her great Auntie. They tried figuring out why and couldn't, as Amalia was such a thoughtful and kind person. This is so out of character for her.

We don't know why and can only guess at this time.

I needed to get this off of my chest, relieve the heaviness. And to let be known, what the consequences of one's actions do.

I pray for the best for Amalia and may all the gods bless her.

Fly high, my sweet Amalia.

Love.

Sad news

 

A pure soul has left this earth, dimming its beauty. My granddaughter Amalia died yesterday at the age of 26. We are all in shock, in pain, in tears, shaking,

Last winter, I posted a picture of her skiing at Banff in Canada. I hope heaven looks like Banff.

Now Amalia will be with her brother ChaChi who died in April 2022.

I'll return as soon as possible.

Love.
