Today, my mom passed away fourteen years ago. The moment stands still in my memory, I was overcome with emotions that had no outlet. I think of my mom every single day for some reason or another. I am so grateful that I was able to call her my mom! She was my biggest fan in all that I pursued. She drove me all over the state playing softball when I was growing up. I started playing at the age of five and continued until my mid thirties. When I went off to college, four hours from our home, she would drive to watch me play…volleyball, basketball and softball. She sent me letters and care-packages nearly every week. I was so loved. She, unlike many mother/daughters was not my best friend, we were closer and our bond continues. She was the very first person to love me, she sacrificed herself for me. She was my first teacher and lead a life to be honored.
Grief is a part of me, it’s just part of the package when you love someone and they are gone. Life most everything in life, grief too changes over time. I have respect for its purpose and place in our lives.
My mom remains in my heart and I know she is at peace and waiting for me with open arms.
Love you always, Charlotte 💞
