This past weekend was such a special weekend. We planned an impromptu overnight trip in NY since we haven’t been in a long time and to also visit Auntie. Yesterday, I won 2 lotteries, 1 for the Lion King and 1 for Wicked. I was so emotional when the Lion King started, being in that moment with Adelina and feeling how excited she was, and all the things that God put into place (the timing of the lotteries, me finding a parking spot to make it to the live lottery in time) was something really special.
Today, we visited my Mom at the cemetery. Her death anniversary passed last Thursday and it has been a while since we all visited. This time though, Giselle was being extra sweet. Hugging the tombstone, kissing it, saying “I miss you so much. I wish I could see you. I love you and I’ll see you soon.” She does that normally, but today, she was extra affectionate.
As we were leaving Auntie Joy, Giselle insisted on visiting my Mom one last time. She ran over, gave a hug and kiss one last time, and said “I love you and I miss you.” Afterwards, I hugged her and said, “thank you Giselle. That was really sweet. You made me so happy.” Giselle said, “Mommy! I think I heard your mommy say “I love you!” and so I said, “I love you too!” while I was hugging you.” From there, I was crying, because I know in my heart that she can’t make that stuff up. I knew that my Mom really was with Giselle and is talking with her and with me.
Giselle always talks about my Mom, Lolo Jun and my Dad. She always mentions how they’re having meals with us and she isn’t just saying it either. You could tell in her eyes, that she really feels their presence and I’m so thankful that they are always guiding her and protecting, and talking to me through her.
