Eight months ago, my junior high school friend, Beth, went through the horror of having her mother leave this Earth too soon. At the time I knew something was going on because Beth and I had reconnected on Facebook prior to her mom’s death and I watched her status updates with worry and confusion. Not too long thereafter, Beth began posting the story on a blog of her own.
Beth’s words are beautiful. They speak for themselves. I strongly recommend you go over and read them and give her a big virtual hug if you’re so inclined.
In the mean time, I leave you with her last paragraph from a recent post:
Please, after you read this, call your mother and tell her you love her. That you’re thankful for every moment of love she’s given you. And mean it. You don’t even know how lucky you are.
Today is my mom’s birthday. Excuse me while I call her to tell her how glad I am that I get to celebrate it with her.
I am thankful for my mom, every day! And I’m so glad I tell her so.
Hey Emmie, I started a new blog called Walking the Tightrope. Will you check it out and tell me what you think? http://tightropewalker.wordpress.com.
