I can still remember the morning of December 10, 2007 like it was yesterday. I remember waking up around 7 AM to my dad sitting on the side of my bed. I looked at his face and heard him say shes gone. I remember somehow getting out of bed, seeing yaya in the kitchen, seeing cousins, and close family doing normal things around the house. But what I remember more than any of this was the sense of peace that seemed to fill our home. There really is no other word to describe it. Things felt painfully normal and calm. And it was in this moment that I knew that the beauty and perfection that mom had gained by going to heaven far outweighed the loss that we felt by losing her. I truly cannot believe its already been seven years since I last saw my mom and I truly dont know how I wouldve survived this far without the love from many of you and most importantly Jesus Christ. Cancer may have won, but really, mom is the one who won, which is something to be celebrated today. Keep dancing to Shackles on the streets of gold, momma.
