Rique, I’m so sorry to hear about your mother passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your brother.

Thank you so much for your condolences. Mom always appreciated the friendship and music you brought to our lives. It was good to see you at Christmas Eve mass,

We are distant relative. When her sister Amor and husband visited us a few times here in Oxnard, California, we were very happy. Their older sis Edeng also visited us and visit them in Long Beach before she died. Lost touch with the Sieberts.
The Daughter
Hey, Thank You for being my Mom! I hope you are enjoying the best seats in Heaven. Thanks being my Creator and Teacher, and for marrying the most important man in my life, ever, Dad. I know you know I’m doing my best here on Earth.
What is 83 years when someday we will have Eternity?
Rique
Mom, I know you already know this, but I just sold the guitar I bought that we both knew I couldn’t afford in the first place; you know the one guitar I played at the conclusion of your service. The same guitar I learned that one song from this really cool movie I wished you lived long enough to watched with me? only I switched the words at the end from “my son” to “my mom.”
I know, I did it without permission but I figured it was okay since I didn’t plan or want to make any money off of its performance.
I consider that performance to be my very last official gig as a “professional musician” who always ends up doing gigs for free because those are the only gigs I could score. After all, the believing and schooling and sacrifices we’d made just left me hungry, poor, empty and ashamed. Yet I can’t apologize for the way I feel. I know you always wanted the best for me, which is why I need to change the way I’ve been trying to earn a living/dying .
I know that you know that I inherited the wisdom to make and succeed at whatever I choose to do to help myself earn a life for a change.
