In Loving Memory of Cesar Salazar

This week was a week of reflection, old childhood memories, lots of tears and shared some laughter with our memories of Cesar. Everyone has the same message about this young man. Polite, kind and cared much for those whose path crossed his. Overall, this man loved all sports and lived his life the way he thought was best. Cesar was remembered by many family members and friends as a kind and funny soul. I still have a hard time understanding why he wanted to be alone while dealing with his illness (heart failure, diagnosed in 2019).  But I had to learn, how we all have the ability to make choices and people will not always understand or like the decisions we make. At the end of the day, it is our choice and people (like me) need to accept it. We aren't asked to like it nor to understand it, but to respect it.

Wow, when the Holy Spirit is speaking it is needful to stop for a moment and listen to what He is saying to you. It is that wonderful still small voice that will fill your heart with joy, when you take stop and listen.

I did just that!  I robbed myself of having the opportunity to share one last time an “I Love You little brother” ….  God’s perfect delight was to give me peace & closure with my brother, Cesar.  I robbed myself of such a wonderful blessing.  I was too prideful, too busy and too fearful to heed God’s gracious blessing.  The bottom line is that God was calling me to reach out one more time to him, but I didn’t. Cesar left us on Thursday afternoon, October 13, 2022 in the stillness of his room.  I love you baby brother! I miss you ..  I find comfort in learning that you left us just as you designed it. You did not want us to feel sad or bad abo
