Hazel, My heart is absolutely broken, soul aching and the tears won't stop falling. They cover my face every time I think about or say your name. I am Broken! I wasn't ready and still not ready to let go. What do we do? Who do we call now? It's always been you. On the morning of the day no one wants to remember, I knew I was about to break. I started saying something corny trying to make you feel better and in the end you made me feel better. That moment is forever etched in my mind and branded in my Heart. Although you were fighting to breathe and in obvious pain, you locked eyes with me and without a single word or complaint, you let me repeat that corny statement 2 to 3 more times. I have never experienced such loving patience and selflessness. You knew my tears were but moments away. I will never forget your "no ordinary, smiling eye's" smile. In addition to missing your smiling eyes, unconditional Love and so much more, I will never forget your wit and will forever miss your Good Trouble! I'm smiling right now. Hazel, with my arms stretched wide open, I'm ready to sacrifice the rest of my natural born life to breathe for you, if you would just come back. The tears are falling again. We are cousins, yes, but some 53 years ago when lil momma took her last breath, you were there. You stepped right in, without hesitation to help nurture and guide 6 year old triplet siblings and their mother with love only you could give while raising your own family. At that moment you became our cousin-grandmother, thank you. You have always been our Bridge Over Troubled Water and always will be. Rest well my Beloved. You've been sending up timber for a long time, well done. I love and miss you terribly. Michica
