I lost one of my best friends yesterday. She was one of those who loved me unconditionally and yet pushed me to be my best self at the same time. I’ve learned so much from her over the years, and even now I’m learning from her passing. And just like so many of my other life experiences, it’s painful. Utterly. But with pain has also come miracles. Gifts from God that have manifested themselves in a variety of ways and all of them blessings at this time of great sorrow.
I lost my mother yesterday. I’m one of many that call her mother. Even those she did not give birth to. She’s blessed so many lives over the years that she earned the title of angel long before she became one. Strange how she feels just as close now as she’s always had, but then again her love was never barred or hindered by distance. I suspect that even now that is still very much the case.
I love my Mom and I love my family. With her it was always about her Faith and her family. She taught by example and endured to the end. I know the path, and I pray to have her same energy so that I may one day be reunited with her.
I love you Mom. I miss you.

I'm so sorry. I hope you and your family become even closer as you celebrate her life and remember your mother.
