Lilly Rodriguez

Little did I know that you had a purpose in life, my wife loved you so much and took care of you like a loving daughter should. When my wife left and you came to me I did not know that you would change my life in ways I could not imagine. You taught me how to care, how to show love to all I met, how to be patient, and how to pray. I finally see that I was not left to take care of you, but that you were left here to take care of me. I have been given the biggest gift one person can give another. Love, hope and compassion. Thank you Lilly, for coming into my heart and into my life when I needed someone strong, and when I felt so alone. I will always love you.
