This past Thursday April 24th Rene's mother, Edelmira Sanchez, past in her sleep. She was remembered throughout the weekend by the large extended family that she molded with her gentle, loving, and always humble ways. If you know our small family than you too have benefited from her life's work because in many ways we are who we are because of her.
It is hard to explain death to a 2-year old, so in an attempt to prepare Cesar to greet Rene when he came home from work on Thursday I told him that he needed to give daddy lots of hugs and kisses because daddy had a big ouwie on his heart. When Rene got home Cesar ran up to him hugging and kissing his leg and when Rene sat down on the couch Cesar looked him all over and asked, "where is heart?" It was so sweet.
The little man also made history at the funeral when he took his one chance to escape my grasp, ran down the pew, up the side aisle, banked right at the front of the church, ran in front of the pallbearers, banked right again to avoid the coffin, and shot up the center aisle, all while thinking this was the greatest maze in the world! I was mortified, but as Rene remarked later, his grandmother would have loved the laughter and we could all clearly see that he has a promising base running career!
The younger one is getting cuter by the day, can hold up her head (sometimes), and is starting to smile with purpose : )
