Footprints of Death...............
I am happy to announce to myself that "I made it!" Yesterday 2/14/11 was my Mom's birthday. She would have been 68 years old. My Mommy was my rock. She taught me everything about womanhood and about how to love people beyond their shortcomings. The latter part of her teachings has truly been an uphill battle and I doubt if I have or ever will master the art of loving people beyond their shortcomings as it places the person who is loving in an awkward and seemingly vulnerable position.
I was just thinking about what I would talk to my Mommy about if I could spend one more day with her on this earth. I think I would thank her for the golden life nuggets(i.e. how to love, showing strength, being compassionate, being a lady) that she left to me. Next, I would show her my life today. Lastly, I would ask her about how I should navigate the rest of my life because sometimes I feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants. Lol!
Life certainly is NOT what I expected it to be, especially when death has been such a prevalent factor, but life is STILL worth living (big smile).
Remember to laugh, live, and love always and on purpose.
