A little about me

 I  born in Puerto Rico, a small but very beautiful island.  My mother died in 1960 in a car accident, which change my life completely (am only had 6 years went that happened). Immediately  I went to live with my grandmother and my two older brothers.  This was a big change in my life. We only lived about  5 minutes away from the sea. I think that is the reason why I loved it so much.

 The time would leave me knowledge that nothing is easy in this life.Those changes they leave a deep soft coal in the heart. As often we do not know or they don’t teach us to express our feelings. When these are accumulated good or bad they leave  a feeling of loneliness and lack of affection and that affects you life forever. They do not allow us to express the love that we felt by those who are our true friends.  The only thing that I hope is that they know how much I love them and respect them.

 In 1972 I began to meet with the Jehovah Witnesses. This changes again my life forever. And every day I thank Jehovah to have me allowed to know and to be part of its town. My daughter and I we preached as family and this animates us to follow ahead.

 In 1989 I move to Florida.  And I took everything with me. My pain, joys, sadness and the memory of my relatives and friends. After a period of time in Florida I got sick.  I have something that the doctor’s calls fibromyalgia , arachnoiditis and clinical depression and chronic pain.  I asked why me? But not always there is an answer for that. Only a person who has depression knows what it feels. It is a so horrible feeling that you did not want to follow ahead.  But something helps me every day and is Jehovah God. To God, Am every day thank for help me to follow ahead and to fulfill the promise that I did to him from the beginning, to serve him every day until the end.

 Thanks Jehovah for this opportunity that you have given me and for the love that always you have shown to me. It is not easy but with its aid I rise every day, with the hope that more beautiful it exists. Someday all this will be thing of the past.

 My passion is the photography. In each photo I see something of me. I have been taking photos for a long time, but in Florida my passion grew up  with the depression. I love outdoor photos. In each one of them also I have learned to appreciate the creation of Jehovah. Everything what I see even the ugliest flower has sense of existence for me.
I look at things different every single day and try to find happiness in the little things in life, something that has been missing from my life for a long time. I continue looking for something every day and take a shot for that little or big thing I saw.
