The more I thought about what to write about Rosaura for this GoFund me, the more stressed out I got. I am already going through so many emotions from her unexpected passing so let me speak from the heart and share the impact she had in my own life and ask you to help out with whatever you can to help cover her funeral expenses. She was fighting the big C like the true warrior she was. From the moment she got the news to the last day of her life, she was not going to accept that an illness would take her away from living and loving her life. She never wanted to show anyone she loved the pain she was feeling, the struggle, the many worries she might have been dealing with, knowing her presence here was possibly coming to an end. She was not focused on fighting this monster,  she was focused on living her life, being around people she loved, and more than anything giving advice to each one of us, while she was still here, to be able to handle the time she would be chosen to leave this world. I became so close to her and learned many things in a short period of time that I am forever grateful to have been blessed with. One of our last conversations was the most meaningful I ever had with her. She shared her point of view on life, on being a mother and things she wished she could of done differently and most importantly she shared with me how she wanted to make sure I learned from her own mistakes and be better. She wanted me to be a better daughter, mother, sister, friend, and partner. She said many things that I will try my best to do daily and because of her I am and will be a better person. She not only wanted better for me, but she also supplied me the tools to do this. I knew this day might be in our future but never ever did I think it would be 2 weeks after that conversation that she was rushed to the hospital and gone so quickly. Most people would feel they didn’t get to say goodbye when it happens unexpectedly and quickly, but I find my peace and strength in what has happened because she made sure I had it before she left us. She told me to trust in God and that is what I will keep doing and when I feel like I’m about to breakdown and cry I can hear her say NO LLORES, LA VIDA SIGUE...and I trust she is right because I trusted her.
