Martha is my youngest sister, so as such I had a very hard time accepting the fact that she had past on to our Lord's place of rest. I still will not accept the fact that she is gone. I know I will soon will soon meet her again at the final place of our existence. I love my sister without a second thought, and now I do not have her to hear her voice, her laugh and to feel her warm gestures and compliments. She loved us all for sure, with no reserve and no forethought at all. I really did love my sister Martha so much, you may have no idea what I am trying to explain now. I already miss her, so much, and I personally will not see her anymore. I will not get to hear her stories, her laugh, and feel her love. This love was free for all. No questions asked. I tried on my last trip to fulfill my hearts wishes in visiting her for what I thought and knew would be probably my last time. As it turned out , it was my last cry, my last breath near her, and for sure I would never see her again and I am very sorry for that. I will never stop praying for her, for she was very special to me. She never let me down and I loved her for that.
God Bless you sister and may His Light always shine upon you. Ask HIM to continue loving me, to protect me, and help me pray for our loved ones. God Bless you always.Your Brother always, Alfonso.
