Hello everyone, I finally received a call from Katie Sicko from the Housing Authority, as well as another call from Norine Jones from Catholic Charities, and it seems nothing I say or do can convince them to let me stay here a little longer. In fact, my two-month period includes June, even though my mom was still alive until June 11th. So I was told by Miss Sicko that I have to be out by the end of July. She even asked me if I started packing yet. So I lose my mom, I'm losing my home, and my pets. This is in no way fair but I am not going to give up fighting for whatever rights I may have in this matter. There are a few people in the Terrace living in 2 and 3 bedroom apartments alone, so if they want me out, they're going to have to evict all of the people in my situation. I should not be singled out if there are others who are in the same boat. So that's the scoop, and again thank you all for keeping in touch, sending cards, money, giving me advice, the phonecalls of support, and everything else. I wouldn't be able to get through any of this if it wasn't for all of you. And thank you Joan and Dick too, so much, I can't thank you two enough for the donation. I wish I could do more to show my gratitude to everyone. When I am settled down I will write up thank you cards and even try to do some artwork to honor everyone who has helped me.

All I need now is a lot of cardboard boxes to pack... I need someone to take my two cats, Ginseng, 15 year old female neutered siamese, Babette, 5 year old neutered siamese mix, and my neighbor Diane is willing to take Okie Dokie, my precious dog. As for my fish... I have a pleco fish that is 16 years old and a lot of other fish that are about 5-6 years old, and very large and beautiful. I don't have time to sell anything so if anyone is willing to care for my fish for me until I can find a place that takes pets, let me know. The care of the cats and dog is also temporary until I can afford to move to a place that allows pets, and I will be sending anyone who volunteers money for all pet expenses, food, flea medicine, cat litter, etc. My phone number is (518) 306-4229. Also I have a lot of stuff here I can't take with me, furniture, antiques that might be worth something, and all kinds of stuff. If anyone wants stuff, please take it... cause otherwise I will have to donate as much as I can, and worst case scenario it's going out to the dumpster. This is all I can do for now so if anyone can help please call or e-mail me. Thank you and God Bless!

P.S. If anyone has room and wants me to move in, I'll go for it... I know this sounds ridiculous but I am a very clean, responsible person, I can cook, I do lots of chores, and I will get a job and pay rent etc. Essentially, if someone wants to adopt me until I can get on my feet, I would be much obliged... cause I really don't want to live in Stonequist. =.=;;;

Sincerely,
Emily Cammisa

Hello everyone, I feel I need to write a e-mail to let you all know what's cooking here since my mom passed away. Firstly I want to thank all of you for your kindness and support during this sad time of my life, I want to thank those of you who sent flowers for the funeral ceremony, those of you who sent me money to help with my living expenses, and all of the sympathy cards, letters, and prayers. I will write to you all and answer your individual e-mails in time but right now my life is full of turmoil, which is the next topic I want to cover.

I just received a phone call from Norine, a nice lady who works for Catholic Charities. She spoke to Ed, the main housing guy, and he said that he'll give me two months before making me move to Stonequist, which is a high rise building full of single apartment rooms. Let me tell you something about this place... it's full of mentally ill, disabled, and elderly/dieing people. After watching my mom die that is the last place I would want to be, I am a vibrant talented 22 year old girl and I just need time to get a job through Skidmore College and get on my feet. It's not fair for Housing to pull my home away from me. If I had to move there I would lose almost everything I own, I would lose all of my pets... Okie Dokie, my dog, Ginseng and Babette, my cats, and my fish. It's not fair, my mom just died and now they want me to lose everything else that I love and cherish.

I am not going to settle for this, I am going to write a letter to HUD Housing and whoever I have to to plead my case that I just need time to get a job and get on my feet. I do not plan on living in low-income housing forever, I didn't graduate from Skidmore with honors after four years to get a bachelor's degree just to live off welfare the rest of my life. I need time to get a job, make money, and move out to a place of my own choosing. That, to me, would be fair. So I am hoping that I can find some faith in humanity and that these people will have some amount of compassion. Until I know for sure what will happen, the only thing I can do is start packing.

Thank you all for reading this, I don't mean to burden anyone with my troubles but I am not afraid to seek out support. My mom wouldn't want this stuff to be happening to me, I know that for sure. I know I will get through any challenge life has to toss at me, so wish me luck.

God Bless.

To my dearest mommy,
I'll always remember what a tender and loving person you were in life. The way you used to sing to me when I was a baby...

Her long blonde hair
Laying on the barber's floor
She doesn't need it long anymore
Or or orrrrr
Laaady Amaaaaaaaliaaa

^_^ I can still hear your voice in my mind. And it's funny that I'm 22 years old going on 23 I never had a real haircut and my hair is very long like repunsel. Yesterday in the casino you got to look through my eyes at all the bright lights and colors, the sounds of the live band, and then the beautiful horses. All the adventures I am about to have as I live on in my own life you will see through my eyes.

I am going to become a great artist, I'm going to go to Japan, I'm going to have my name rolling in the credits of a animated film someday, or a videogame, or I'll have comic books and art books on the shelves of popular bookstores. I'm going to finally write that novel about your inspirational life and how you helped me be the person I am today. My job is only just beginning, just as yours is in the next realm. That rose you made bloom is beautiful and I am going to press it and keep it in your bible to always remember you by. You are a bright soul full of love and I hope now you can travel the world and the universe and spread that love, as it is much needed.

God bless you mommy, me and Bopy will be okay, and so will the rest of the family. Please give Michael peace because he's feeling regrets and sadness, fill him with the same joy and peace you fill me with now. Give him strength to turn his life around and be the best father and husband he can be, take away his depressions and his pain. He knows you loved him unconditionally.

Your wish will come true, all your children will be close from now on, I really like Ned a lot and I'm so happy to have him as a half-brother, he's a cool guy for sure. And I'm so happy Michael is finally getting to know me too and play videogames with me, share laughs, and just be himself. Maybe someday I will have kids too in your honor but that's still iffy lol I love you momma, I still have your hands, identical in every way. You gave me these gifted hands and with them I will do many great things to leave my mark on this world.

May you rest in peace and we will meet again someday to travel the universe together. I love you always.

Emily <3

Hello all, I wish I could have gotten on sooner to let you all know that my mom finally passed away at around 20 to midnight June 11th. It's been a real whirlwind of a day, from losing her, to going to the funeral home to make arrangements for her ceremony, to being surrounded by caring friends and family and neighbors all day and all night long, taken out to diners, casinos, betting on horses, having laughs and sharing happy stories about my mom's life, and really spending the day being happy and blessed for the wonderful life she had. She didn't want us to be sad, yes we cried, but we're not going to be depressed because she went peacefully, she's no longer suffering, and she's squeezing my right thigh alll the time to tell me she's here, even right now ^_^ She gives me goosebumps and tingles all up the right side of my body and in my thighs, and she did it to a few people. She also made a beautiful pink rose bloom in the garden this morning after the rains last night. She's still working her miracles and making her rounds. And believe me, if you want my mom to pay you a visit, just say "You there Kris?" and if you feel goosebumps that's her giving ya a little hug or a squeeze. I even felt her rubbing my back today, a feathery little touch. She was a very tactile person and she loved to massage me and my brother. So she is in no way gone, her body is gone but her spirit is everywhere and with everyone, filling us with peace and happiness, and most importantly, love. So please don't be too sad cause she wants you all to be happy for the awe inspiring person she was, and to love one another, because in her last words, love is healing. I will write more tomorrow to go in great detail about everything, this is just a summary cause I'm too tired to write the novel I want to write. Just know she loves you all and she will be with you, you just gotta call for her ^^

Sincerely,
Emily

I'm just writing now to ask everyone for prayers, whether you're religious or not, spiritual or not, because as of right now, 1:53AM est my mom is in critical condition and it's likely she may not make it through the night. If she has to go we should send her off with love and well-wishes onto the next journey, wherever it may take her. She is a beautiful, kind hearted woman, a wonderful loving mother, and she has given me so much, my artistic talent, my musical abilities, my strong mind and intelligence, and my resilience in difficult times like right now. She was born September 13, 1949, she's 59 years old and she has fought this cancer for over two years now. Just six days ago she was fine, and then the past three days I have watched her steadily losing the fight. Today I watched her gradually lose her faculties, and right now she's struggling just to breath and stay on this earth, in this world she loved so much, just a little longer. By the time most of you wake up and read this she will probably have moved on, and she'll no longer be suffering. Mom, I love you, and I'm here for you every step of the way. She promised me she'd never forget me and of all the things she has forgotten she still knows I love her. God bless her, let the universe take her energy and give her a new life, a better life.
