In Memory of My Brother Rudy

April 6, 1971 - January 28, 2008

We will always love you Rudy M Cano JR!

This is hard for me to write about without crying, all these feelings and emotions are so hard to deal with. I have great memories of my brother. One day, I will share them with you. At this moment, all I can share is what happened that night my mijo went to meet the LORD.

My little brother Rudy has been with Jesus for 3 years today. He really wasn’t little, he was 6’5. He is my younger brother, the fourth child of five. I miss him so, but God wanted my brother to be with Him.

The night he went to be with the LORD was a big shock to us all. Rudy had been sick for about a week, he thought he had the flu. The days went by and he wasn’t getting better but getting worse. I remember my mom calling me and telling me that Rudy was really sick and to pray, he won’t go to the doctors. He got so bad that they finally called 911. My parents and I drove down to the hospital which was 1 ½ hours away.

As my parents and I drove down the mountain, we were praying and wondering what was wrong with him. How sick was he that they had to admit him in the hospital? It never crossed our mind that, that night was going to be our last night with him.

Three months prior to this, my brother had taken a sugar diabetes test or glucose test and passed. So we didn’t think he was a diabetic. It does run in our family. That night, when we went into the emergency room, we found out that his blood sugar was at 800 mg and went up to 1700mg. He was going in and out of conscientiousness. I believe that he was waiting for us to arrive.

He told me I love you,and told my parents how much he loved them, he winked his eye at me and then fell asleep. The last thing he had said was, “ Mom , Mom, I Love You Mom”.

I LOVE YOU BROTHER!

A little bit after midnight, my Parents and Pastor Espinoza were with him when he passed, his heart stopped beating. He is with the LORD!

That night was the worst night, especially for my parents. I can’t image how hard it is to lose a child. Please keep them in prayer, the pain is still there and will be for the rest of their lives.

You are missed brother and I can’t wait to be in heaven with you, worshiping Jesus!

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
 

This is my Brother





My Nephews Arrival James Martin Williamson JR.

Mommy pucker up and give me a kiss.

We headed out to the hospital with excitement waiting for the new addition to our family. Amber was admitted about 7:30 am January 21, 2011; she was induced about 10am. Little James was a week late. Daddy was home for mid-deployment R&R so he can bond with his son before he returns to Afghanistan for 6 more months.

James Martin Williamson was born January 22, 2011 at 8:01. He weighed 7 pounds 1.8 oz and was 19.5 inches long. We are so happy that he is finally here. God is good!

As family and friends waited we all guessed when he would arrive, I said, “10:30pm”, to be honest I don’t remember anyone else’s guesses except James, he said “at the right time.” We all hoped it would be that day but when 12midnight came around we were all exhausted and didn’t care as long as the baby and my sister were fine. I don’t think any of us got real sleep. Well, I know my parents didn’t, they were up the whole time waiting.

Finally the doctor came in about 7am and said, “We can’t wait any more” for some reason every time they would increase the amount of pitocin the baby’s heart beat would drop. Not good! They ended up giving her a c-section. We all laid hands on her and my Dad and James prayed to God “please let everything be fine”…. God answered our prayers, James JR and my sister are fine.

We were all able to see Amber meet her baby for the first time. As the tears rolled down her eyes with thanksgiving and joy, to see her baby from God was a treat to us all. The proud parents couldn’t keep their eyes off the amazing gift they just received.

I am so thankful to be part of this great miracle! “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” “For You formed my inward parts: You covered me in my mother’s womb I will praise You, for I am wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well Psalm 139

Congratulation Sister and Brother-in-law! We are totally blessed.

James’ Arrival

Last night I caught my sister in the baby’s room, just rocking on the chair and day dreaming about the birth of little James Jr. and the arrival of her love James Sr. James was on his way home for his mid- deployment R&R, really for the birth of their first child. Little James waited for his daddy to come home. Any day now we will see little James.

Amber asks,

Who will he look like?

Whose nose will he have?

Will he have curly or straight hair?

Will he have dark or light skin?

When will he be born?

Will it really hurt and how bad?

Will he wait for daddy to be home?

They’re so many questions running through her mind.

Next Morning.......

She tossed and turned all night with excitement of knowing that her husband was on his way from Afghanistan. This morning she received a call at 7:44am from James saying, “I’m at DFW I’m almost home babe.” It's been 6 months since they last seen each other.

Amber prepares to get ready.

What will I wear?

Should I wear my hair straight or curly?

How do I look?

Am I wearing to much makeup?

What time is it?

How do I look Bridget?

Bridget: Beautiful sister!

Amber: He should be here any moment, she looks out the window, he’s here! He’s here!

I promised a lot of pictures!

Now we wait for little James!

Christmas at Ambers

This Christmas we decided to go out to my sister in OK. She is 36 weeks pregnant and she shouldn't be driving. Her feet are swollen and she should keep off of them. So, we left our dungeon in TX to be with her. We never leave our home on Holidays so this was going to be different.

We are helping her around the house and took broody out for walks (her dog). We left skip and muffin at home because they would be way to much. Thank you Anna and Caleb for watching them for us. We do miss them, even if I think they are dumb dogs.

We had our first white people Christmas this year (In side joke). Mexicans unwrap presents on Christmas eve and unwrap tamales, but we unwrap present before we came because there is no room to bring them in the car and we had ham and mash potatoes instead (lol). Dennis does make a good ham. We had eggs and ham for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch, and ham for dinner again. I'm done with ham. Sister we should have made tamales like you wanted. We will soon.

We had a great time here, we went to seen Gullivers Travels,we went to the park and played, we hung out at home and spent time together. We went for walks and seen some homes all lit up. Amber has one tree with lights and it looks like a person praising the LORD. She decorated her home so nice.

We will be going to Church tomorrow and then be heading home, I think. Thank you sister for having us here. I'm glad that I have family with me. I really miss all my girls. Merry Christmas family and friends. Oh here is a video of Aunty, keep her in prayer she can't put on her own shoes. The girls are helping her.

Family 2010

My family in the month of December 2010

Its been about 2 years since we had taken family pictures. The last one was here in Texas and Megan was with us. I remember all the fun times we had when all the kids were together. Now I have the three kids and we are making new fun times.

It was really nice of our Pastor to offer to take our family pictures. He did a great job. There was so many that I liked. You can go to http://s226.photobucket.com/home/dinky247/index and see some of them. He took over 400 picture but of course I didn't post all of them only the ones I really liked.

SUNSHINE

Jade is my sunshine, she always puts a smile on my faces. I love that I wake up with her worshiping the LORD I cant ask for anything better then that. I got real busy this morning and she asked me "mom have you spent time with the LORD yet?" She keeps me on my toes. What would I do with out her? I know that the LORD is using her so much. I am so Blessed!

TURTLE

My son grew so much from last year. He is taller then Jade now. He must been about 5'2 and he is going to be 12. I'm so proud of him. He is growing to be such a godly young man. I can hear him right now in his room playing the harmonica. He wants to learn to play a instrument. He goes in to Jade's room and plays her key board. If he could he would play the drums but we cant afford them right now. One day, maybe!

PRINCESS BUTTERFLY

Eyvette is to cute, she is always making us laugh. She receive a easy bake for Christmas from her older sister and she has been baking almost all day. She woke me up with a chocolate cake for breakfast. Her friend that she made that lives across the street is spending the night tonight and they made cookies, cake, and melted chocolate. She is having a blast.

HONEY

My Husband is a character, I love him so. He also keeps me on my toes.I am so bless that he loves to cook. Well, I have to clean the mess but the meals are great. Since he has been home I have gain about 7 to 10 pounds. Not happy with that, but happy that he is back from California.

I wanted to get these pictures a little earlier so I can send them out as Christmas Card. but it is to late now.This is one of many family picture taken of us. Thank you Pastor Allen, you did a great job.

We are off to OK to be with my sister for Christmas She is now 36 weeks and cant really get around much. I'm so excited because I love it when I'm around my family I do miss my children and my family. My God is my comfronter.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the bloggers!

My Brother

I wanted to share that when I was in California for the birth of my grand baby I got to spend a lot of time with my parents and my brother Joey. My brother is one year younger then me and is the second oldest of us all. I truly had missed him. It was about two years or so since I got to spend time with him.

We did so many things when I was visiting. The first thing we did was go to the beach. It was so cold but so much fun. I love the beach, I just don't like the sand, it get everywhere if you know what I mean. My parents love the beach too. My mom would love to go and sit and listen to the crashing of the waves. She lived near the beach all her childhood years. My sister was with us too but I see her all the time. This story is about me and my brother. hahah

I think the next thing we did was go to the fair. The Pomona fair. That was fun too. We walked around, ate a lot of food and watched a parade. Oh, and took lots of pictures. My sister is good about taking pictures. So this blog will have pictures of us. We even have one of me eating corn. Yummy corn! Give me some of that corn! The food in California is so much better then Texas food. But the fairs in Texas have a lot more things to see, and is a lot nicer.

We went to two car shows. One on the mountain where my parents live and one down the mountain which is called Route 66. They had over 2000 cars. My brother had my sister take so many picture of his favorite types of cars. I mean lots and lots of pictures. I love him so! We did stay late and and enjoyed it. I think that the fumes and the riving of the engines might have been to much though.

I enjoyed just sitting and watching his favorite TV shows. But don't ask me what the names of the shows are because I forget. All that matters is that I got to hang out with him and watch him laugh. Well fefe (my mom's little chihuahua) his bittbull sit on his lap.

My brother made us dinner and is now one of my favorites. Chow Mean, it's the most easy meal to make and it tastes good too! If you want the recipe just let me know. I can picture him making it right now.

My brothers favorite nick name for me is butt head, but I know that I'm his favorite sister because of how he says it. All his sisters are called butt head. What can I say that's my brother. I love you brother! Next time brother, I'm going to tie you up in back of a trunk and make you run be hide it! (Inside joke)

LongTime

Wow, it's been a long time since I've blogged. I'm here sitting on this chair that really belongs to my husband but I've taking it over. I don't know why? It's so uncomfortable. I can feel the springs shooting up, so I have to sit on a pillow. It's starting to get cold again and I love it. I actually love fall, the smell, ai,r and colors. Anyway, This blog has been on my mind, so I decided to come back. I really don't know who really cares what is going on in my life, but oh well.

Dennis has been home for about 3 months now and things are doing great. He was in California for awhile helping his dad. His mom past away in January and it was hard I think on all of them. It was hard on us at home too! The kids are really happy now that he is home again.

We have been so busy which is a good thing, I just forgot about my blogs. The kids are involved in JBQ which is Junior bible quiz , Royal Rangers , and Missionettes. It's like boy scout and girl scout, but Christian. Jade is really busy too. She helps lead worship for the youth and in the big church too. Cant forget school, I'm the teacher.

Lots of things happen this year, I'm a grandma now, Yay! My oldest daughter Brook gave birth to Jayla on September 21. She was 6 lbs 5 oz and 19 inches. The most beautiful baby in the whole except for my babies of course. Isn't she sweet! I call her my little brown button. We have skpe dates every Tuesday and I got to see her roll over. She's only 2 months and she is already rolling over. She is strong. I look at her and she reminds me so much of Brook when she was a baby. I miss those days.

My brother in law is serving in the army and has been gone I believe since September. My sister is going to have their first baby in January, so excited! Little James is his name. His room is so nice, Dennis painted it baby blue. We cant wait to meet him. James gets to come home for the birth. Please pray for his safety. My daughters Brook and Megan are coming out for the birth too, so I will get to see them and hold my grand baby. I just want to smell her head.

We had Ambers (sister) baby shower here at my home. It turn out so nice my parents got to come out. Josh and Eyve were so happy to spend time with their grandparents. They wished they didn't have to leave. Me too! Amber received lots of things. We played games and had lots of food. I cant wait to see those pictures.

We are going to a new church and I've become a berean, not that I wasn't before, but at least I knew what was being taught. Here, I really have to dig in the word and make sure my kids are being taught right.It's all good! I love it! I have learned so much that I want to tell everyone. I think I have grown more then I ever have in these last two years. Hard stuff!

Well, it's getting late and I can't remember everything else, but that's ok. I know that my grammer is off and I spelled things wrong, but that ok, it's my blog right!
Good night

                                                                         



39th Anniversary

HAPPY 39TH ANNIVERSARY, HAPPY39TH ANNIVERSARY, HAPPY 39 ANNIVERSARY
TO MY MOM AND DAD THE TWO LOVE BIRDS

Today my parents are celebrating their 39th anniversary in Lake Tahoe. They are enjoying the lake and the nature walks. When I called them they were taking a walk with their hats on and binoculars around their necks. They said that they looked like tourist. I can picture them right now because they wear the same thing when we use to go camping. I can hear my dad now roaring like a bear to scare us. He really sounded like one.

There were many things that I learn from my parents, but one that stands out right now is that they always like to spend time together, especially on their anniversary. They also taught me that in marriage there is good times and bad but they always forgave and shown love to each other. No matter what happen they always stick together. If I ask my mom out when I lived on the mountain she always said dad is coming too. She never left my dad out. My dad wouldn't leave my mom out either. I think they are connecting by the hip. Even when they got mad at each other my mom would tell us lets go and us kids would get in the car at start to drive away. My dad would be sitting on the couch mad. The car would stop and start to back up and we would look at each other wondering, what is she doing. She would stop in front of the house and tell me, go get your dad ask him if he wants to come. I would run in to the house and my dad would say "yea"!


If my mom orders a meal from a restaurant my dad would order the same meal. I love it! If my mom thought there was someone trying to brake into the house, my dad would jump up and protected. There was no one braking in to the house but to know that my dad would do anything to save his family, that makes him my hero. My sister and I always wanted to marry our dad, but he was already married to my mom. I think Amber might have married someone like him.

Everyday I saw my parents kiss good morning, good bye or hello. They would give us kisses too! We still do that but over the phone now! Kiss Kiss hang up now! My mom has always told me that my dad was her best friend and he comes first! She is a great wife and mom!

KISS KISS!

I love you mom and dad! Have a great anniversary.
