It's a heartbreaking truth that so many of us (me included) go through life unable to appreciate our gifts and see the divine within.
My mom never gave herself credit for her kindness, wisdom, or beauty. She had the decks stacked against her from the beginning, yet she always found a way to rise up or push through.
She used to like to say "where there's a will there's a way" and she lived that 'ish. A spunky underdog. A true phoenix.
In past 15 years, my mom has many hospital stays and times where I thought she could die.
Saturday, July 15th was not one of the days.
RIP Mom. We'll all miss you more than you ever would have believed.
