To my mom...

I miss you so much.

1955
To my mom...

A little over two months from now will be 10 years since I lost you. 10 whole years and it has not gotten any easier. I miss you so much and I need you. I literally still can't comprehend that I will never see you again, never talk to you, never hug you. I don't have a mom to talk to when things get hard like they are right now. It just doesn't feel real. Life is so unfair, you didn't deserve this. I will never forget the day dad told us you were in the car and were going to the hospital for a few days, I ran outside and hugged you so tight and said "I don't want you to die". I remember the first time visiting you in the hospital, it was my first time sitting in the front seat of the car. I remember being by your side until the day you couldn't talk and we couldn't see you anymore. I'll never forget the day that you died, we slept over at Aunt J's, she drove us home, dad was sitting in the couch and the four of us cried for hours. I cried every single day. I'll never forget your funeral and having to stand up there, seeing everyone that loved you so much in one room.

Remember when I was 8 or 9 and I asked you who your celebrity crush was and you said Chad Michael Murray and I had no idea who that was but I looked up a picture and said ew (probably because it wasn't Zac Efron). Well he ended up being one of my celebrity crushes too after I watched one tree hill. I wish I could tell you that. I remember every day after school you would make me hot chocolate and I would pour half a bag of marshmallows in it. I remember you made me a snack once which I feel like was toffee, but I never knew what it was, I even made someone make me these gingersnaps when I was 13 trying to figure out if they were it (definitely weren't, they were so bad). Anyways then one day I was eating a toffee brownie, and the toffee bits tasted exactly like the snack you gave me. I just wish I could ask you what it was, I wish you could make it for me again. I miss baking cookies with you and helping you with dinner and setting the table. I miss doing everything with you. I still have pictures you colored me from all of the times we have colored together. I won't ever forget watching movies with you with my head in your lap. I'll never forget you always singing "sunshine on my shoulders" to me.

I remember going to mommysmoms and playing games like old maid and those puzzle squares. I miss her so much and you. You were the best momma I could have ever asked for and I wish more than anything that you were still here, I can only imagine how different things would be. I can't stop crying tonight, I wish you were here. I love you so much.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
