Welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy it and go away feeling you have learned something about my disease and MY fight against cancer.
I will always love you Brayan Cardona!!
HE BEAT IT IN MY EYES..FOREVER FLYING WITH THE ANGELS, RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS
Dedicated to Brayan:
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with
tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me,
too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to
understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by
the hand,
And said my place was ready in heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see your SMILE.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss
tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with
sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much
at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great
golden throne,
He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you,
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day’s the same day, there’s no longing for
the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things you knew
you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand and share my life with me?”
So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re
far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.

It's been a while since I updated...but crazy none-the-less. I have two weeks until I graduate from the community college and receive my associates! I'm excited about that although I'll just start school all over again next semester in order to receive my bachelor's. Quintell is also graduating in two weeks with his bachelor's in theology. He received his acceptance papers into Southeastern Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC. We are very excited about that and have filled out the papers for housing. We should know by the first of June where we will be staying.

I am still working full time and trying to do things (little by little) for this wedding so that I'm not bombarded at the last moment. Quintell wants to move to Wake a week before the wedding...which will probably turn me into a Bridezilla...but in some ways it makes sense. He wants to be (somewhat) settled when we get back from our honeymoon and be able to "relax", if there is such a word!! I will begin to look for jobs in that area right after school ends. I didn't want to start too early as my resume and all that would probably just get lost in the shuffle.

I can't wait to marry Q. He's my best friend and I can rely on him for anything. I'm so thankful for the blessings that God has given me in my life and in my relationship. I will miss Charlotte and my family...but the good side to that is that I will have even more family and be able to start a family of my own.

If my parents read this, I want you to know that I love you both so much. Thank you for putting up with me for this long, within the past few months, and in the months to come!! Thank you for supporting me in all of my endeavors and know that I cherish you both. I can't wait to share my "new" life with you, although leaving the old one behind will be difficult. You have helped to raise me into the woman I am today and I hope that I have shown you the drive and determination that you instilled in me. I want you to know that I will do my best to continue to press on for the things that I want most in this life. I thank you for loving Quintell as your own and knowing how much he means to me. Know that I'm only a drive away...although it may be longer than we're used to and that I love you more than anything!!!
