A Special Letter Found Carta De Anais a Sus Tres Hijos
Visiting my father, I noticed the old garage
could use a little fixing up.
He had boxes stacked up, and clutter to
the very top.
We all started up and down that garage
picking and cleaning, dusting and sweeping.
Suddenly, a letter tucked in an envelope
was found. I realized who it was from, It was
from my late mom, I started reading!
This surprise took over my whole being!
My hands were trembling as the pages shook
in my hands, and my eyes were seeing!
This Letter was tucked away for us to
see. Left by my mother in heaven, Anais.
To my three sons, Michael
Rene Enrique, Gaston Alfredo, Gustavo
Alphonso Campitrous."
"Dear Children today I'm going to tell
you how lucky I feel in having three beautiful
and special sons, like the ones I have. God
gave me the best of the world and that is
what you are for me."
" During the hard times I always had a
goal in life. I always had a point where I could
base the reasons for my struggles, and never
felt tired of working hard, because I knew deep
down in my heart, that I was doing that for
the sake of my children."
" Always be yourself, no matter how
much money or rank you have in life. Don't
change your personality. Remember Jesus.
He was God, he was a king. He had everything
and he was humble and was a simple man. He
was modest. He was admirable. I have the
good luck of knowing you three love him. That
is wonderful.
"Never forget your parents. How they
fought life to give you a good living."
"It is very important you three have a
perfect union remember, En la union esta la
fuerza. (Translation), In unity there is strength.
If you keep together you will get stronger. You
brothers have to help each other, no matter
what."
" I will be dead my sons, but from where
I am I will be watching you. Never separate
from each other. Please remember me as a
mother who loved you very, very much".
" Michael and Gaston always protect your
youngest brother Gustavo, because Gus is your
baby brother. When you have your children teach
them the values you learned from us. Always do
good, help people every chance you have."
"You will always be my babies. Ok my
darlings, I hope you follow my directions. If you
do that look at the sky, on a very clear day,
from a remote white cloud, you will see me
watching you. After I am gone." "God bless you
my sons."
