Yesterday
Yesterday, the world got a little darker.
Yesterday, one of the most special people to ever live departed this world.
Yesterday, a woman who helped raise me and a lot of other people who benefitted from her pure love, died at age 93.
She was unmarried and had no physical children. Though she died a virgin she actually had several "children", me included.
I couldn't do her justice by attempting to write about her. There is nothing I can really say to illustrate how bright her light shined. I just know she taught me about selfless love, about kindness and gentleness, about charity and her convictions about serving and worshipping God have shaped my own spirituality.
Yesterday I lost a piece of my soul by the name of Aura Estella "Estelita" Santos.

Sorry for your loss. She was always very nice and friendly the times I've met her. I've always admired her collection of cardigans.

Like I said before, I was so moved when Iheard about Estelita's passing. She was such a wonderful auntie to you guys. And I always loved seeing her when I'd visit your house....
