You never really realize how much a piece of a person resides in you until it comes time to have to give it back. Yesterday morning my family had to give back an angel that was sent to us. My cousin and beautiful Godmother Virginia “Ginny” Miano Trentacosti lost her battle with cancer. Now I’m not writing this because I want sympathy or condolences. I’m writing this because I want the whole world to know just how special she was and is to each and every one of us. From the oldest to the youngest…and to every single person she met…Ginny touched your heart in a way that is just unexplainable. My mother could not have picked a better person to have been my Godmother. Ever since I was a little girl I could remember always being so proud that she was my Godmother. From her sparkling eyes to her long strawberry hair…I was mesmerized by her beauty. She was quirky and fun and I can remember how excited I would get when I knew I was going to see her…and even though I’m close to 44 now that feeling just never seemed to go away…each and every time. I looked up to her so much and wanted to be just like her. She was sassy and beautiful…never a day that she wasn’t dressed to the nine. My love of shoes and style definitely came from her. Her hand me downs were like I went on a shopping spree no matter how old I got an oh how she loved dressing me! And even though my red hair came from a bottle she’d say it didn’t matter because the spice comes from within ☺ Ginny never wrote a great novel or had a huge career that impacted the world. She was simple…she lived a simple life…and had a simple love. What she did do is bring joy and love…everywhere she went. Whether it was the little crafts she made you or just the smile on her face when she saw you…when Ginny loved you…she loved you with her whole heart and she made sure you knew it. She never took anyone or anything for granted. If you were important to her then that was it…you were important. Loving, kind, gentle and sweet…to the truest sense of those words was what was embedded in her. She had the greatest sense of humor and her lack of a filter sometimes could rock your socks. She was the type of person you just loved being around and never wanted to leave. My family has experienced a lot of loss over the last few years…but this one…this one hits hard. She helped bond us all…always making us remember how special we were to her and should be to eachother. Family was so important to her. God never blessed her with children…for a long time I never understood that…but now I realize it was so she could pour her love onto us…each and every one of us….and she did. She always signed her cards to me Mom #2…and she was to me…in my mind and my heart…and its there she will always be. Rest sweetly my sweet Oberina there will never be enough words to express how much we love and will miss you. You were a ray of light in this huge family of ours that will forever shine within us. Thank you for loving me
