Mom
The thing I
am most thankful for is my mother. On May 23rd of this year, my mother passed
away from acute leukemia. The disease hit her quickly and from diagnosis to her
death was four days.
My mother
raised her children to be independent, strong willed and loving. She taught us
there are two ways you can face adversity: throw in the towel and ask, “why
me?” or push forward and say, “I can”.
The last day
of her life, she continued to show all of us how to live our lives better.
Knowing she was going to die, she made several phone calls, checking on friends
and family, sharing a laugh and letting each of us know, we were going to be
alright.
My mother’s
faith in an afterlife was unquestioned, her love of family, unequaled, and the
joy she shared unsurpassed. I owe all that I am to my mother. This will be the
first Thanksgiving without her. But when we all gather for dinner at my aunt’s,
we will be giving thanks for having my mom in our lives.
I love my
mother. I give thanks for all the memories which keep her with me, every day.
