THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS THAT I REMEMBER ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL -
*HER BEAUTIFUL SMILE WITH HER PERFECTLY STRAIGHT, WHITE TEETH.
*HER GORGEOUS FEET, SHE GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON HER FEET, THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I USED TO PLAY WITH HER FEET AND TOES, EVEN AFTER SHE WAS ALL GROWN UP. ACTUALLY, THE LAST NIGHT WE SPENT TOGETHER, WE WERE SITTING ON THE COUCH AND I WAS RUBBING HER FEET WHILE WE WERE TALKING AND MAKING PLANS FOR HER FUTURE.
*SHE WOULD NEVER LEAVE OR HANG UP WITHOUT TELLING ME SHE LOVED ME.
*SHE ALWAYS ASKED WHAT SHE COULD DO FOR ME IF SHE KNEW I WAS SAD OR UPSET.
*SHE WOULD SIT AND WATCH ME COOK AND TALK TO ME ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD.
*SARINA WAS VERY PROUD OF HER WONDERFUL VOCABULARY. SHE ALWAYS SPOKE VERY INTELLECTUALLY.
*SHE ALWAYS GOT SO EXCITED WHEN SHE BOUGHT A NEW BEAUTY PRODUCT OR A NEW DESIGNER ITEM.
*SHE WOULD WALK THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, WITH THE CLICK OF HER HEELS, TO LOOK IN THE LARGE MIRROR BEFORE SHE LEFT FOR THE EVENING.
*SHE WOULD SPRAY ON ENOUGH HAIRSPRAY AND PERFUME TO LINGER IN OUR HOUSE FOR DAYS.
*Q-TIPS.... A LOT OF Q-TIPS.
*SHE LOVED ALWAYS HAVING A DIFFERENT LOOK.
*HAIR COLOR, A LOT OF DIFFERENT HAIR COLORS.
*SARINA WAS A VERY UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL, ALWAYS DID HER OWN THING, NEVER CARED WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAID OR THOUGHT.
*SARINA LOOKED AND ACTED OLDER THAN SHE WAS (AND OF COURSE THOUGHT SHE KNEW EVERYTHING), BUT SHE WAS STILL JUST A CHILD, MY CHILD.
*HAIR EXTENSIONS, HER HAIR WAS CONSTANTLY A DIFFERENT LENGTH.
*SHE ALWAYS CALLED ME "MOMMY".
*WAS VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE HAD A GOOD MOTHER/DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP. ALWAYS SAID I WAS HER BEST FRIEND.
*SHE WAS VERY PROUD WHEN PEOPLE WOULD SAY SHE LOOKED OR ACTED JUST LIKE ME.
*SARINA WAS VERY PROTECTIVE OF ME, SHE ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS OKAY.
*SARINA WAS ALWAYS EXCITED WITH ME WHEN I WAS EXCITED ABOUT A NEW PROJECT, SHE SUPPORTED EVERY BUSINESS OR PERSONAL VENTURE I EMBARKED ON, SHE WAS ALWAYS IN MY CORNER, SHE ALWAYS WANTED ME TO BE HAPPY.
*SPIKED HEELS, OF COURSE TWO SIZES TOO SMALL. SHE LOVED HAVING PETITE LITTLE FEET AND WANTED THEM TO LOOK EVEN SMALLER.
*I REMEMBER WHEN SHE CAME HOME WITH HALF A DOZEN PAIRS OF EARRINGS THAT SHE BOUGHT FOR $.99 EACH. I WAS SURPRISED THAT SHE COULD BE JUST AS HAPPY BUYING SOMETHING SO CHEAP AS SHE WAS BUYING SOMETHING AT A HUGE DESIGNER PRICE. I NOW WEAR THOSE EARRINGS DAILY.
*I REMEMBER WHEN WE LIVED IN THE HOUSE ON EDITH, I CAME HOME TO HER AND ISABELLA IN THE LIVINGROOM WITH HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF STUFF FOR ISABELLA. SHE WAS SO PROUD AND WANTED TO GIVE ISABELLA EVERYTHING SHE WANTED.
*SARINA SAVED MY PUPPY FROM DROWNING. I WAS GONE FOR THE DAY AND SHE WAS HOME, SHE HEARD THE DOGS BARKING AND LOOKED OUTSIDE TO FIND A PUPPY HAD FALLEN IN THE POND. SHE PULLED IT OUT, WRAPPED IT UP IN A TOWEL TO KEEP IT WARM AND THEN USED A BLOW DRYER TO DRY ITS FUR. THIS FROM A GIRL WHO CLAIMED TO HATE DOGS BUT SHE KNEW HOW IMPORTANT THEY WERE TO ME.
*ON ANOTHER DOG OCCASSION. I WAS UPSET BECAUSE ONE OF MY DOGS GOT OUT AND RAN AWAY, I SPENT MOST OF THE NIGHT LOOKING FOR IT WITH NO LUCK. SHE WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING BEFORE ANYONE ELSE AND SAW THE DOG IN A NEIGHBORS YARD, SHE PROCEEDED TO RUN AFTER THIS UNRULY DOG UNTIL SHE RETURNED IT BACK HOME TO ME.
*I REMEMBER WHEN SARINA WENT TO PIER ONE AND BOUGHT ALL SORTS OF BOHEMIAN DECORATIONS. SOME WERE HUGE ! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW ALL 95 LBS OF HER GOT THEM INTO HER CART, INTO HER CAR AND THEN INTO HER HOME. I NOW HAVE THEM ALL IN MY LIVINGROOM AND WILL ENJOY THEM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
*ANYTIME SARINA WOULD STOP SOMEPLACE ON THE WAY HOME, SHE WOULD CALL TO SEE IF ANY OF US WANTED SOMETHING.
*AS A CHILD, SARINA WOULD FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD BE A POSSIBLE STAGE TO SING AND DANCE.
