What would my mom say right now?
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
How would she know I was beating myself up?
Because she knew how high my expectations of myself were and the depth of my emotions.
Why would I listen?
Because she loved me unconditionally and wanted the best for me.
Sometimes I am lost without her words or hugs or presence. It still hurts that she is gone. I still long for her support.
But I have to be stronger. To take what she gave and keep it alive. To remember her love and wisdom. When I am lost more than ever.
