Dear Mom, Happy birthday! I can't believe it's been three years without you already. It's crazy how fast time flew. I miss you so much. As spring rolls in, I can't help myself from feeling emotional as the stores fill up with flowers. I still dislike flowers, but the scent of different types of flowers … Continue reading Happy Birthday to My Mom In Heaven
The relationship between a child and her parent is unlike any other. This is the person who teaches her how to love, how to handle herself when she feels entirely overwhelmed, and how to stand up for herself like no other.

A poem from March 2015, which was only 5 months after my mom died.
I must rediscover who I am without your alive. I must pull away the sorrow and bring in the happiness again.

Moving on after a Mother’s death isn't possible because you can never “move on.” The pain is too deep to so call “move on” from.
No one understands the pain you suffered for years. They will never understand what it's like to watch a parent suffer right in front of his or her eyes. They aren't the ones who spend most of his or her childhood worrying about what you had to deal with over and over again. You never … Continue reading To The Girl Who Watched Her Mom/Dad Fight Cancer For Years
