I haven't posted in a few months because (since my last post) my world has been turned upside down...
School started...
Mom was diagnosed with cancer...
Mom was put in hospice care...
Mom passed away 23 days after the day of diagnosis...
My best friend, confidant, advisor, shoulder to cry on, my everything was gone... I didn't know what to do with myself, my life, my family, my everything...
Because of all of you praying for me and my family, giving me hugs and words of encouragement, being an all around good friend and Christian example... I'm not crying every day. I'm not wallowing in the fact that one of the most important people in my life is no longer here on Earth with me. I'm focusing on the fact that she no longer hurts, she's no longer tired, she no longer has to worry about anything. She is with God. She is with her mama. She is in the greatest place there is to be. Heaven. I have no doubt that she is there. She is the reason I created this blog and titled it Being a Proverbs 31 Woman. She is my inspiration in everything I do in life. She taught me all that I needed to know to continue life without her. This was not my first choice by any means, but because of the example she was and the mother she will always be in my heart, I can continue on knowing that she gave me all the tools I need to be as wonderful a person as she was.
Now we're on to a new year, a new semester with my sweet first graders, and new beginnings...
I'm learning how to live all over again...
I'm remembering the good times...
I'm not dwelling on the things that will be missed...
I'm feeling human again...
And that's all thanks to you! My friends and family! You are the reason I'm me again. Thank you for being there for me when I didn't know where to turn or what to do. God has truly blessed me with the greatest of the great! I hope that I in turn will be a blessing for each of you. <><
