My dear Cindy

I hadn't planned on making a new entry on this blog any time soon. The day my dad died I lost it and have not come through it yet. Cindy had taken a turn for the worse a few days ago and I went up to the city to see her after Sherry called me in tears asking me to come. I saw her... she was sleeping mostly but when she woke up, she had a smile on her face. She asked why everyone was so sad... we all smiled and said we were waiting for her to wake up. She asked all of us to smile and so we did. She was not able to speak... she used a pen and paper. I am so happy I got to see her.

Cindy passed away at 2:15 AM, 11/13/04. I was with Sherry when we got the call. My words will never be able to fully express the pain I feel for her, her family and my sweet Sherry. Her pain has ended. Ours continues.

Sherry's family has become my family over the past 10 1/2 years. I love them deeply and would do anything for them at any time. My heart goes out to them and I will be there for anything they need.

I love you Cindy. Hug my dad for me when you see him... and we will all see you again one day.
