Love Letter to Life 08.21.2025 Rose 1930 – 2024

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, A year ago, my mother Rose, passed from this world. She is still a force of energy making visitations in the form of bees, butterflies and “bling”. She loved all things that sparkled. Rose had a deep hope to meet her first grandchild and my daughter, Tracy, who was released at birth for adoption in 1968. This dream came true in 2021 after Tracy and I reunited through Ancestry. Rosie did not quit before the miracle. Mom you are loved and missed by many. Let Rose be an inspiration.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 07.07.2025 I Am This And More

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I am an artist living in this world with a deep need to reflect creativity. I am a sober person involved in the recovery community with the purpose of helping others. I am a woman, a mother, a sister, a friend, a smile to those I meet. I am grateful to be alive and have this new day to experience life. There are delights and surprises for this quirky Being as I travel my Soul’s Journey and walk around the block. Enjoy this day!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 07.23.2025 Heading West

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, After seven weeks of traveling and being with family and friends in the East, today, I begin the journey West. My bags are packed with memorable moments and treasures. I am full with the joy of living and lobster rolls. My DNA loves the ocean. My body is sun-kissed. White Angel is serviced. My Spirit is my Treasure Trip guide. Thank you to everyone for being with me.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love letter to Life 07.17.2025 Islands of Joy

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, My Treasure Trip has taken me on a boat trip with Tracy around the Thimble Islands, Stony Point, Ct to Manhattan, NY for a family “girls day”. We saw the great musical, “Hell’s Kitchen”, by Alicia Keys at the Shubert Theatre. The cast, musicians, and surround-sound of her music were spectacular. Pure joy to do these things. Being here now.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 07.13.2025 My Happy Place

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, The Lake House in Maine is my happy place. There is peace and beauty, wildlife that doesn’t require loud music and disco balls. I am dating myself! This year was special because my daughter, Tracy, joined me. She loved my friends. We played, walked, talked, ate, repeat. I am one big smile. Yes that is my White Angel in the driveway, but no, I did not steal the Scamper! Until next time… thank you for the treasured memories.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, Tracy and I found my new Beloved in Maine where they serve lobster and soft-swirl ice cream cones. I am over the moon in love. Don’t quit before the miracle!

Love Letter to Life 07.08.2025 Route 1 Fun

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, The Treasure Trip continues. Tracy and I drove north along the Maine coast on Route 1. “Mom, turn the car around. I want to to see Jelly Belly!” A hard brake and pin-turn for our first photo shoot at Wilbur’s Chocolate Factory. We left with Chocolate Blueberries and smiles. Picnic lunch near a marsh, quaint small towns. Made our way through the Orland blueberry barrens to the lake house where Alix and Gary greeted us with open arms. Dinner on the screened-in porch then a few steps to the dock to watch the loons and moonrise. Evening ended playing Rummy 500. I moaned and laughed through a colossal loss. No more groaning. I am a champion of life!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 06.18.2025 Family Treasures

| Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, Arlene’s home burst with “treasures” yesterday. My daughter, Tracy, visited. Arlene’s painting is from a photo taken the day Tracy and I met in 2021, a reunion after 50 years of separation. I was receiving chemotherapy and about to have Stem Cell Transplant for Lymphoma. The “little treasures” are the children of my niece, Kira, and her husband Rich. Meet Noah, DJ, Carolina, and Manny. Our family’s “adoption” stories are too many to be told here but are full of love and blessings. Happy to be “home”.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
