"You never know how strong you are until that is your only option."
This quote has been my mantra for the last few months. I tragically lost my loving mother in April after her unsuccessful but trying fight against her asthma. She lead a life of positivity and nothing but goodness. She gave everything she had to everyone she loved. She never held back for anything. My mother was one of a few people who would think twice about someone else before thinking once about herself. As I type this, I do it with a smile. As much as the pain of missing her is stabbing me repeatedly and painfully in my heart, I am twice as proud to be able to call this hero my Mom.
Death is such a terrible thing to have to deal with, especially when it is someone you love unconditionally. I have been trying to keep my faith high and trust in God for his decision to bring his angel home so early. Before my mom's passing, I never really felt the heartbreak of losing a loved one. Now, my heart breaks for everyone who lost someone. I commend each of those people for their courageous ways to be able to move on with their lives.
I know this pain will never go away, but I hope that one day it will be somewhat bearable. I miss you so much mom, more than you will ever know. I hope you're flying high with the best of the best of angels. Actually, I know so. We were lucky to have you in our lives for this long, and everyone in heaven is ten times as lucky to have you know. Love you Mom.
