This is one of the gratitude entries that meant so much to me. Here it is:
I am grateful for the relationships I've had with those who are no longer with me. They each have a special place in my heart. The times we spent, the laughs, the tears, the food. I will never forget. Thank you to my grandmothers Alicia Rios and Romana Caceres. Thank you to my dad, Heriberto Caceres. Thank you to my uncle Tony Rios. Thank you to my beautiful cousin Lisa Cruz. Gone too soon.
I am grateful for extra special ladies in my life. My aunts, my mom's sisters, Jennie Rios (MA) and Marta De Jesus. They are the sweetest. They are so supportive and nurturing to me. I love them dearly.
I am grateful for my in laws, my extended family. They have been wonderful to me and every time we get together, it's laughter and fun. Thanks to Nicholas Johnson, Jeffrey Johnson, Antoinette Pinkney and Melvin Pinkney. Special shout out to my monther-in-law, Donna White. Love her forever.
