5 Months

Time is a very interesting thing. In some ways it feels fast, in some ways it feels slow. Today marks the 5 month anniversary of the day my mom passed away. It feels like the time has gone so fast with everything we have been busy with, but it also feels like we have lived so long without her. I miss her so much, and I wish I could tell her that I love her, miss her, and appreciate everything she did for me. Without her, I would not be anywhere near who I am today, she was such an amazing inspiration for me. She taught me everything I know. One of my favorite quotes is by Abraham Lincoln:

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother"

I feel this quote exactly lays out my thoughts and feelings for her. I have the best mother. No matter what happens or changes in life, SHE will always be my mom and I will always love her. I know she finished everything she needed to on Earth, and that's why she had to leave. Heavenly Father needed her pure spirit somewhere else for right now. Things will fall into place. God never takes anything away without planning something better. I know I needed this trial to grow stronger. It is still hard sometimes, but through prayers of faith, the atonement, and my supportive friends, I still make it through each day. remembrance
