Time moves slowly, yet rushes by in a heartbeat.
Or, rather, it keeps on moving, long after a heart beats its final beat.
Today marks the one year anniversary since my mom’s heart beat its final beat in this world.
I miss her so much, especially as the holidays approach.
Memories- of the good times, along with the most heart-wrenching, agonizing moments- come flooding back with a vengeance.
It’s almost unbearable sometimes.
Words may be failing me lately…
Yet my mom managed to sum life up to perfection in one of her own blog posts:
For every downhill battle, there will be an uphill victory.
For every backward tread, there will be a forward initiative.
For every letdown, there will be contentment.
For every tear, there will be a smile.
Sometimes what seems to be the end, could be just a beginning.
Life is full of endless detours and turnarounds.
Giving up is not an option. Never was, never will be.
My beautiful angel mom.

Such a touching tribute to your mother. You never really get over the loss of a parent. You always see your parents as being there forever, relying on them for guidance in all life matters. Just know that she raised you in her image and that you’re carrying all of her morals and principals that will help lead you to a happy life.
