1/22/08- Happy new 2008 / Milton Yeo (son) hi mom, we missed you as always. dad has been in the philippines since last november. we've been grabbing his mail from the apartment and the post office. last weekend, we (liz & the kids) spent about half day at your apartment, since dad wasn't home yet, we were cleaning things out. it's never been easy being in there because a flood of emotion just hits you while i'm in there. it seems like it was just yesterday when we were together with the whole family and now we are face with the reality that you are gone.
the time has gone by fast but it hasn't been easy. what makes it easier is that we have our family here and the Lord Jesus that can take away our pain and sorrow. we love you so dearly. i saw some old handwriting of yours and to me, they look so fluid and beautiful. i keep them tuck away by the desk where you do your writing. i also like to look at the pictures you have put together in collage and frames of us in your desk area. i can see how much you have loved us all ... our relatives, all your children, husband, in-laws that you have loved like your own and grandchildren.
the kids mentioned to me during christmas that they have 3 wishes. one is that everyday is christmas, second thing ... i couldn't even remember when it was and 3rd was that they wished you are still alive. i know the kids missed you so much, and how i wished they have their grandma to see them grow up and that they can play with. i can see from the pictures and videos that they loved playing with you.
we have so much fond memories and i can picture you clearly how you would walk next to us, how you would smile, how you sound talking to us and over the phone, how you stand as i see you from far away. those we relished and re-live over and over again.
there's another part of that i wished can be taken away because it haunts me still. it's the part of where we took you to the hospital and siting next to you as you lie there and watch your condition gets worse. those moments are so painful for me, and i'm sure to all of us. i felt so helpless and a rush of negative emotions flow through me ... anger, sadness, desolation. i can't think of the worst moment in my life ... it's all the events that occur in the two hospitals where you were at. what can i do?
two weeks ago, the 3 cabinets hanged on the wall in my home office collapsed, thank God, no one was in there especially the kids. they would have been crushed. when it happened, i thought of you because if you were still here, we would have called you and how you would have come over to lend any hand. i'm sure you would have watched the kids as liz and i pick up all the broken glasses and cleaned up the debris from the fall.
it's another year and i'm sure this 2008 will past by fast like last year. but we still missed you so much. and wished you were still here. we love you. goodnight mother, sweet dreams to all of us.
A Valentine for you Anita / Melissa Eiler (~Angel Friend~ )
THINKING OF YOU PRECIOUS ANITA AND WILL FOREVER KEEP IN TREASURED IN MY HEART / LaRaine Mom To Angel Cynthia Hernandez (Friend)
THINKING OF YOU PRECIOUS ANITA WITH MY LOVE ALWAYS / LaRaine Mom To Angel Cynthia Hernandez (friend)
1/6/08 Mom, Missing you so much ... / Steph (daughter) Mom, I couldn't sleep tonight. Just kept thinking about you, especially when you were in the hospital. I last saw you in July 2006 for Newt & Nancy's pre-wedding and then you went to the hospital in Sept.
I just keep thinking what happened to you? How long were you sick? I remember a few weeks before you went to the hospital, how you were telling me your gums were bleeding and it wasn't getting better. For a brief moment there, I thought you sounded scared, like you knew something else was really wrong.
Then I remember how you were struggling so much to breathe and you just had enough and said you wanted be with Jesus in Heaven. I was so surprised to hear you say that. How much pain and suffering you must have felt to say that. We kept telling you to fight and that you were going to be okay. Seeing you lie so helpless was so horrible. It's been awhile since I thought of you in the hospital. I don't know why tonight those memories are coming back. I thought I had them all behind me. It's so horrible to think about. I pray to God to erase them from my mind because it hurts too much to think about them.
I love you so much Mom and my heart can't take anymore of this. I feel like I'm slowly dying because all I do is cry and cry. Mom, please help me. God, please help me get through this because I can't do it anymore.
1/2/08 I MISS YOU MOM / Steph (Daughter) Hi Mom, I received a phone call last night and for a moment, I believed it was you. The voice on the phone said "Steph" and it sounded just like you and my heart pounded so fast and I thought "it's Mom!" A part of me was surprised and another part of me was so happy and thought maybe everything had just been a nightmare and I was right, you are still here. But then I realized it was Auntie Apheng, your childhood friend. After I spoke with her, I didn't know what to think, were you trying to send me a sign? It all just made me miss you even more and cry for you.
Mom, I miss you very much and many times I still can't believe it or understand that you are gone. I am having such a hard time accepting that you're not here anymore. I don't know...I think it's because I want you here so much. I don't know how to go on without you. I wish so much that I can change things and just in a moment, have you come back to us. Please God, help me with this. I love you Mom....
Happy New Year Anita! / Melissa Eiler (~Angel Friend~ )

HAPPY HOLIDAYS PRECIOUS ANITA AND FAMILY WITH MY LOVE ALWAYS / LaRaine Mom To Angel Cynthia Hernandez (friend)
12/17/07 Mom, I had a dream... / Steph (daughter) Hi Mom, I had a dream about you last night...all I can remember from it was that you were gone and the intense pain that I felt in my heart. It was so strong, like that morning when we lost you. I felt like my heart was breaking into little pieces and I was dying slowly. I miss you so much sometimes I try not to think of you because it hurts so much.
When I look at the pictures of you and the kids, I remember how much they meant to you and you did everything for them. I know you were in pain and you didn't have the strength to fight. It breaks my heart that you couldn't even fight this sickness. I think you were worried that you would have been a burden, but you wouldn't have. We didn't care, we just wanted you with us, healthy and alive. I just know that God has saved you from something far worse but does God know how much we hurt without you and how much we need you? God help us through this because this is so hard. I love you Mom.
