My mom was a tiny woman, she lost her mom when she was eleven and my dads family took her in at the time she was an only child but her dad remarried and had eighteen children, this next picture is of my dad he is on the left, not knowing yet he was going to marry the love of his life
I'd like to show you pictures of who started it all, these are my maternal grandparents
And these are my paternal grandparents who had nineteen children!!
This picture is of my parents with the first four of their children, I would have stopped right there!lol This next one is a picture of me with my eight sisters, I'm the cute one on the bottom left lol
My parents were married sixty eight years before my dad passed away at ninety years old, his dying last words were to his children, take care of mama. He wad true to her till the end.
My mom died of dementia four years later, years of not knowing who anyone was, barely speaking, she would yell ( she had never raised her voice before) Manuel, Manuel!! It broke our hearts to hear her do that. She still remembered her husband till the end. Theirs was a love so rare I know they are in heaven looking down at their 135 descendents lovingly watching us and that gives me comfort.
Here they are when my mom first showed signs of dementia. They will forever be missed and forever be loved, thank you for taking the time to read this love you all And lastly here are most of my siblings with my parents
I may struggle alot in life but I had two loving giving parents and lots of people didn't have that, I was very blessed❤️❤️❤️
