To my Hami,
I still cannot believe that I am even writing this. I am not sure why you had to leave us so suddenly, and only 36 days after Dede left us. My world and heart are shattered. I am so grateful for the bond I shared with you. I will miss you forever and I love you more than words will ever be able to describe.
Love always and forever, your Erin
Rick, we are all extremely sorry for your loss, words can’t express how much pain you are going through at this time. May God give you and your family strength at this time.
Our thoughts are with the whole family. We will miss seeing her next door and her thoughtfulness when she asked about Jacqueline.
Dear Anne,
I have struggled to find what words I could write for you because I am quite frankly shocked and stunned with the events that have unfolded over the last 36 days as Erin put it so well.
What can I say about Ruth Zaydik as her Son? I am 42 years old.
My Mom tirelessly and bravely sacrificed herself for her family her whole life. Even 8 weeks ago when I hurt my lower spine while visiting the house and couldn’t walk for 4 days she made me soup and sandwiches all the while telling me that her back was sore. She was limping. But she insisted on making me the food anyways. She thought that maybe she pulled a muscle or herniated a disk. For years my Mom tirelessly took care of my Dad while he was sick with Parkinsons cooking meals, helping him in and out of bed, helping him go pee and poop and all the while we did not know about the danger slowly growing inside her until we insisted she go to the ER. Even then she resisted. When my Dad died near the end of September we thought that she would finally be able to rest and enjoy her golden years. Only we never could have imagined that this is what God had in mind. We feel like you were cheated and robbed. If anyone on this Earth had deserved a break, it was you Mom. A mere month or so after God took my Dad, he took you too.
A woman so strong, selfless, and brave her whole life is surely walking with God now. There is no doubt in my mind. Only now I have been left to fend for myself without you or my Dad. There is no woman on this Earth who will ever be as loyal, sacrificial, compassionate and beautiful as my Mom. My Mom can never be replaced.
I miss you with all my heart and soul and I will always love you. Until we meet again I promise I will never forget you and that I will strive to live the rest of my life my with the wholesome ideals that you taught me like forgiveness, compassion, loyalty, and love. I miss you.
Your Son always.
Nuri
Rick, Kim and Family our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
