Many people have stopped in to say goodbye to Natalia and it has been wonderful. She still hears everyone talking and even with just her right hand as her only form of communication she can still get her point across. While she hasn't eaten in the past 48 hours she still in taking a little bit of liquid that we syringe into her mouth. It was a huge surprise to Edgar and I that at midnight last night she got "chatty". Yes, she talked actually words from 12am to 7am. Some were actual conversations with you most were kind of out there. She talked to her sister...who thanks to Redd has been sleeping in her own bed...she talked to the fish...she talked about things I was to exhausted to understand. Until she said she was scared to die then I told her how wonderful Heaven would be. How God, her grandmother and all her great grandparents would be waiting for her...then it was back to out there talk. By 7am she had worn herself out and went to sleep. When she woke back up she was back to being non responsive. We are taking time to say thank you to everyone for all their support during this journey. Without you all this would be so much harder to bear but we have learned that no matter how bad our situation is it could be worse. We have all of you behind us while many families going through similar situations have no one. So once again thank you.
Much love,
Roni

Roni,
Yes, Mima, Tata and Manuel will be there to hold her in their arms and surround her with love, and tenderness.
Buddhists say that one of the signs of true enlightenment is the experience of a vast, immutable joy that underlies the personal joys and sorrows of life. The Cosmic Giggle suggests that for those in the know; the essential nature of life is such goodness that the only possible response is joy. No coincidence thay Natalia's middle name is Joy...perhaps Joy is one of God's commandments.
We love you more than you will ever know. Please give Natalia a big kiss from me...
Tera
