Mom

I don't often write about people that are close to me. I was raised to respect others privacy too much to do that. How we are raised shapes who we become.

Mom raised 4 boys and a daughter. There were others along the way that she also helped raised. They also called her Mom. Others called her Teena. She touched a lot of peoples lives, and almost always in a positive way.

My mom taught me lots of things, Two things she taught her children mostly through example are, how to handle adversity and how live fully, because there are always good times in life and there are hard times. Coping with with both is how one lives to their fullest.

We lost Mom yesterday and these days are when Mom's lessons are so important. She is a part of me and others whose lives she has been a part. She lives on in all of us.

It's her strength that she has given me that I have to face the next few days. I know that although she resides in a better place now, part of her still lives on within me.
