Home at last!!!

Hello everyone,

Finally I am home sweet home!!!
So far so good, thanks to my niece Pamelita, my plants survived!
And my children kept the house clean, so I was able to just relax.

I want to thank all of you who called or wrote asking about my family in Chile.
The earthquakes were in the north of the country and my family lives in the capital
Santiago, south of the epicenter. They felt it, but they are ok thanks.
Today , my grandson Zachary is coming to spend the day with me, I am soooooooooooooo happy!!!!
in peace,

Sonia Paz

From Los Angeles, California

Hello everyone,

Today I am in Los Angeles, California
I took my son Dimitri to Children's Hospital this morning for a renal ultrasound.
So far so good and the doctor said to return in June 2008 for another check up.
So, we are flying home tomorrow at 2 pm. with Tatiana and Dimitri.
My sweet niece Pamela has offered to pick us up at the SLO airport.
I will let you know what develops as life goes on.

in peace,

Sonia Paz

Magic happens!!!

Sometimes life surprises us, this happened to me last week.
A tv crew from Chile, Mega tv came over to San Luis Obispo, they followed me around
for four days and then they invited me to Chile!!!
I landed in Santiago November 1,2007 and as we drove to the hotel, on the radio they welcomed me to the country and played the song I sang 35 years ago!!!
Everyday was a magical day, surprising my family, seeing my mom, my daughter Pascale who looks wonderful and visiting my old schools, neighborhood and even singing on stage one night, only to be surprised when Pascale came onto stage and danced for me a lovely song. I visited friends who are now in very important political and military posts.
After 5 days, I had to return home, but the cherry on the top was at the airport, where the Mega tv people presented me with the recognition of a GOLD RECORD for being 16 weeks on second place on the Chilean top ten ....this came after 35 years!!!
I flew home in a daze, very happy.
I am now in LA having to take Tatiana and Dimitri to Children's Hospital tomorrow for medical tests.
But I will return home on the 14th.
When the program airs in Chile, I will post it here, so everyone can see it.
thank you, thank you, thank you magical universe

I am back!!

Hello everyone,

I am back, finally!!!
I was without phone or internet for a long week, kind of quiet really...
Well now I am back, and glad to be reading my emails and chatting with you all again.
Sad news from California, as you can see on tv, many people have lost their homes in the horrible fire storms.
I am praying the winds will die down and we can breathe pure air again.
All my love,

Sonia Paz

Poem

Goodbye Darling

You spent your last night next to me
I nursed you trying to stop the painbut your crying told me how much it hurt.....
Tati and I gave you meds we sang you lullabies but only my petting stopped you from crying, you lay on your little blue bed, you were so sick....
My little Darling, after seventeen years your time has come to say bye bye
I gave you a bath, the warm water seem to help a bit, but I could see that you couldn't move anymore...
I cried as I dried you, so thin and frail...my little darling
finally in the morning you slept but by nine you were crying again and I knew....
We drove you to the vet and she gave you a shot, you went quiet, as we caressed you
Dima, Tati and I around you all of us crying, and you so tiny so small..
with your little blackeyes going dim
and at eleven you gave two little breaths and you were gone....
