So please—I know it’ll take another year and a half or so—but just get it over with so my heart can finally rest from breaking whenever you leave and jumping for joy whenever you come home…I love you so much, with all my heart, forever and ever.</p><p>“Please take good care of yourself and I’ll keep pretending you’re about to burst into my room any minute just to sit with me as we exchange stories and make each other laugh so hard…My ultra-loving big little girl. My heart. Lord Jesus please protect my Kakie and surround her with your angels always…”</p><p>Aside from Frankie, Sharon has two more children with her husband—daughter Miel and son Miguel.</p><p>Miel, who came out as a member of the LGBTQ community last year, is also set to embark on her college journey as she nears her high school graduation.
