I found out yesterday morning that our cousin had passed peacefully. I’m thankful that I was able to visit her. I held her hand, we prayed, and I kept telling her to be strong.
Life isn’t the same without her. My only regret is not having enough time and just reaching out. These last few years have been difficult and it’s unfortunate that we had to see family under these circumstances.
I want to be a better person. I want to keep my family ties strong. And I just want to be a positive person! Marian was all of that and more.
I think back on so many memories, especially when we were all growing up. I’ll always remember the family trips and the parties. I hope we can continue the tradition of making memories and taking photographs together again.
Don’t take life for granted. As Marian had posted: “Die with memories, not dreams.”
Rest in love and in peace, Marian. We love you and we miss you so much already.
