Six years ago Sol died of a sudden heart attack. No one saw it coming. It was completely unexpected. She was an amazing and extraordinary person. She was a loving person. Ooh, how I miss my little Sister!
I still keep in touch with her best friends. It's amazing how we can all sit here and recall a good memory about her. And not just one... Many good memories. That's the kind of person that she was. I can only think back fondly now... And only think, those were the good old days!
I remember when she was first became Baptist and when she did her Holy Communion. She grew up to be such a beautiful young lady. Everyone loved her -especially the people that knew her in Washington Heights. We talked about everything and we were so close that if anything was ever wrong, I was always the first to know about it.
Sol was the baby of the house and my mother loved her dearly. Sol would sometimes get into trouble, but I would always be there to bail her out -lovingly and with no regrets. No one could mess with my baby sister, she was always well protected.
At 18 years old Sol had a serious car accident that broke almost every bone in her body! She was given a 20% chance to live. Even though she had everything against her, she survived! The doctors told us that she would never walk again or even have children -she beat those odds as well! She ultimately had 3 beautiful children, two boys and a girl. She went through so much, so I guess in the end, her body simply gave up. It sadness me to think of what could have been.
Well, I'd like to get into more details, but I want to leave some things for the book. ...I will leave you with this final sentiment regarding my loving sister. I will just say that as sad and tragic her passing might have been, I am still happy and grateful for the time I did have her in my life -we all are!
Until next time friends.
Love,
Jesse Jess
