The last couple of days have been the hardest I’ve ever had to experience. On Saturday September 14th at 1:20am my Avó had taken her last breath. She was surrounded by all of us in her last moments with her last words being “I love you” and is now in heaven with my vovô (grandpa).
To say she was a special lady feels like an understatement because she was truly one of a kind a sweet, proud, and loving soul who made each of us feel like we were her entire world. Especially my mom, who was the world to her. Growing up, some of my fondest memories with Avó were the times we spent having tea parties together. Those moments were filled with love, laughter, and a closeness that I will forever hold in my heart. She supported me through everything, even when I went to hair school being one of my first client. Every time I left the house it was always followed with I love you’s and how beautiful and “sexy” I was. I’m not sure where she picked up that word, but it always made me laugh. She had a way of boosting my confidence, making me feel cherished and appreciated in ways no one else could.
Avó had this incredible sense of humour always joking we would always stick our tongue out at each other jokingly it was our thing we always did to each other, always light-hearted, and she loved being in the middle of our family’s stories, always eager to hear about the latest tea in our lives. She knew how to keep things fun, and her laugh was infectious. I’ll miss that her light-hearted spirit, her playful attitude, and, of course, those wet kisses she was so generous with. I miss the way she looked at me, with that twinkle in her eye that made me feel like I was the centre of her universe.It breaks my heart knowing that she’s gone, and it feels like a part of me has been ripped out.
Every time I walk out of my bedroom door, I still hope to hear her call me to her room to fix her TV and put on her favourite channel , “Viva” as somehow she always managed to change the channels. It’s so hard knowing she’s no longer here, but I find some peace in knowing she’s reunited with vovô, watching over all of us from above.
But even though she’s in a better place, I can’t help but wish for one more hug, one more laugh, one more moment with my Avó. It breaks my heart knowing she won’t be there on mine and Jon’s wedding day as I know how badly she wanted to be there.
Avó , you were loved by so many, and we are all going to miss you more than words can express. Thank you for all the love, the laughter, and the memories. You will always be in my heart. 🕊️🤍🕊️
Thank you for all your love and support during this very difficult time.
