Open Letter

Gianna you are the best daughter in the world & my best friend. I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest the day I had to tell you that your Father passed away. The pain was unbearable. Our new reality is difficult . This was the ultimate lesson in control . We realized that we don’t have control over anything. We never know when our last day on earth will be. Life & death are in Gods hands  we will stay steadfast in our faith. 

Gianna Valentina 

mommy’s got you forever okay I am honored to be your Mom. You are a true G so powerful,brave, kind , healing, beautiful, silly, resilient and strong. Titanium is in our DNA You are my sweet Angel Baby. I love you to the moon and beyond  Our love will get us through this together  Asi es la vida mi niña. 

. . . 

  This was not the plan JR. This is unbelievable man “go easy on me”. This is something else , just ridiculous. I begged you to take care of your health for G.  I never understood how you could be so crazy, brutal, stubborn, prideful, control freak, workaholic human but yet the best most loving kindest dad ever to Gianna. You have broken her heart forever but she knows you fought till the end. We both knew what it felt like to lose a parent. Gianna knows in her soul how much you loved her. I’ll make sure she never forgets. Thanks for calling me an amazing mom. You damn right .

Me and G prayed for you nightly † Trying to figure things out while you were gone so long in the hospital . Trying to keep hopes up high. We had so much hope , we never gave up hope. 

Guess I can’t annoy you anymore with my many requests for you to give your life to Jesus huh ?  I can see you now rolling your eyes & saying “Relax Ev” or “ Go F yourself Ev” 

If you could see me now you’d probably say:  “ you got this Ev”  

“ you know my dads the only cool one”

“You gotta do this for G” 

“Don’t be a little B” 

There was a side of you that only I knew. You were one of my greatest teachers. I learned how to be a lion because of you . I learned how to forgive because of you . I learned how to be strong & fearless because of you. You taught me how to stand up for myself & how to not get bullied . 

I learned how to lean on the Lord in some of life’s darkest moments because of you. 

Gianna knew without a doubt how much you loved her.

She’s the best thing that ever happened to us. She has memories of you that will last a lifetime . 

Please ask God to shine a light on Gianna & Iziah from Heaven. Thank you for helping us on Earth and now from Heaven. 

I’ll pull through for my little MoonBeams Gianna & Iziah. Two reasons to push through & show up. I’ll find my way & the sun will rise again. “Don’t worry about a thing

‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right” 

Thank you everyone for lifting me & Gianna up with your prayers . We both can feel the love during this difficult time in our lives. Please continue praying for us.

Thank you for praying for my daughter . Thank you to all her family & friends that have been by her side through this awful time.
