Now That She's Gone

So this song pretty much discribes the situation that I am in now.

Artist: Destiny's Child
Song: Now That She's Gone

Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone
Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone

Take her to the movies, dinner all the time
Shopping sprees for her; on me you never spent a dime
But I was there for you when you had nothing at all
Then you got a lil job and she's the one you call and

Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone
Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone

You've taken me for granted but you only get one chance
Then you left me hurting and it won't happen again
So she finally left you, it ain't no surprise
That you miss your water 'cause your well went dry

Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone
Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone

Understand, I understand, why you think I want you back
After what you did to me
Did you think you blinded me?
Boy you know whatever you do it will all come back to you
'Cause you tried to play me like a fool
Understand, I understand, why you think I want you back
After what you did to me
Did you think you blinded me?
Boy you know whatever you do it will all come back to you

Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone
Now that she's gone, you wanna come back
Is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You've made me wait too long, I'm gone

It's Reese's Fault!

Since Reese has started posting about The Jets and her love for them. I have gone in search of all my favorite 80's/ early 90's music, and now it's all I listen to. I traded Daddy Yankee in for Juan Gabriel ( Don't sleep on JuanGa)! Can you believe that?


and PCD for Jon Secada.


and it's all Reese's Fault!!!

See what you do Reese?

See!!!! :)

Pictures from NY

After my grandfathers funeral everyone went to D.R. to burier him. I was unable to go and so instead I spent a few days in New York with my paternal grandparents and family. It was just what I needed.

I was finally able to meet "my daughter". I have a picture just like this one and I am even wearing a red outfit. She looks alot like me in this one.

My neice! We tell her that she is going to be America's Next Top Model. She thinks we are crazy.

My Sister and her family.

The girls again, can you tell that I am the proud aunt? I have a million pictures of them. They run away from me now, saying "No more picture auntie Karla"....lol.

My daughter again, she is so freaken cute!

No place like home.

You know you are in "The Heights" when you see this around EVERYWHERE you go! I love home!
Last one I promise, I just love her! My uncle kept asking me for child support....lol....he is a nut.

A whole lot of dominicans! My cousin Javi( on the couch in the middle) was leaving for the Air force the next day so we gave him a going away dinner. Oh by the way the beautiful old women in front of Javi with the glasses is my hero in life, I want to be just like her when I get older.

Here comes the rain again.

I knew that shortly after my grandfather passed that my grandmother would follow, but I did not expect it to happen so soon.

Caro called me yesterday to tell me that mama has a few days left.

I dont even know anymore.

I said goodbye to you

After receiving the news that my grandfather had passed we bought our flights and where on our way to New York. We left at midnight on Tuesday and arrived in NYC on Wednesday at about 6 am.

Wednesday was one of the longest most emotional day of my life so far.

I knew that the funeral was going to be hard but it was much harder then expected. Since I had not seen my grandfather in a while it was hard to see him in that casket. I was an emotional reck all day long. I missed Caro like crazy, but was thankful that Nataly was there with me.

As hard and emotional as the funeral was it was a beautiful tribute and farewell to my grandfather. I learned so much more about him, my family and even myself. The story and songs that I took for granted as a young child now have a special meaning. Funny how that always happens.

I know that while he is no longer here in a physical sense he will always be here in a spiritual sense because he lives with in my memory and most all my heart. I am who I am today because of him. Without knowing it he taught us more then anyone else just by being him and living by example. His legacy will go on.
