Last Wishes

Have you thought about your final arrangements? You know, like what you want to wear for your final showing, if you want anyone to sing at your funeral, where you want to be buried, or maybe not buried at all, maybe you want to be cremated. I use to think I would want to be buried in my hometown, in the same cemetary my Mom is buried, but I've since changed my mind. I told Fonzy if it were up to me, he can just have me cremated and him and all my boys can go to the ocean and scatter my ashes. I saw this story and pictures online and wondered why someone would want to do this, but then I thought, Hey....it was his final wish, so why not.

Medina, who was killed on Aug. 15, 2008, had wished to be standing at his own wake, and was embalmed for the occasion.

Nope, not at my house.

This blog is to share my life as a Wife and a Mom to 4 boys, but also about my journey of being a Mom to a murdered child. My oldest son Samuel was shot and killed on May 23, 2009 at the age of 19. Life goes on after the death of a child, but it is never the same. This is my life...the pain, the sorrow, but also the love and happiness that is still in my life.
