It's been almost 10 years since her death on August 15, 1990. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. She taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. She taught me that I am a good mother, and that I can do anything I set my mind to. And, I can live through, and excel in, things I never thought I could do.
Nobody thinks they can live through the death of a child.
But, when you are faced with it, you make a choice, every day. Some days the answer to that question will horrify you, and some days they will surprise you. But every day is a challenge, and every moment is precious. If you have a spouse, a child, or even a pet. Hug them every day, and make sure they know that you love them.
