DO NOT WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Mom went January 23, 2012 of COPD.
She would have been 62 years old just five days later.
Mrs Frances Rios used to write the Taft CommUnity newsletter that many of the elderly at the time had loved. She was also a volunteer until she started getting seriously sick.

Manny Jr (my oldest brother) went January 5, 2016 of a heart attack.
He would have been 46 in March of that year.
Damon (my 3rd brother) was pronounced dead today at 11:42 am. Damon made it on news stations. Including Fox35 and these below.
Update: Friday Feb 16, 2018 - First Baptist Church is holding a memorial service this Sunday, the 18th at 7 p.m. Potluck, asked to bring a dish to share and a canned food item for Damon’s food pantry.
He was an organ donor, his organs helped save four people's lives.

Several others I cared a lot about have passed in the last few years as well. I'm only 35.
I feel as though I know loss way too well already. I know I'm not the only one out there, but this sucks. I cry hard for a minute and then just feel the deep sadness, or even a numbness. Well, for everyone but my mom. She was the biggest part of my life and I still cry over losing her. Some say boohoo, I know.
I see a counselor and finally got a copy of my full evaluation. I suffer from major depression. I knew I had depression but didn't know it was considered that bad. I still get up and do what I have to out of necessity for my kids. I know some people can't do that much when they feel it hitting. I don't blame you.
Mental illness is a big deal for those that have to endure it. It is something they need to work through with help. It's not simple to cope with. Some needs meds, some don't. I'm losing my train of thought, so am just gonna leave this as is for now.
