I just discovered an appt. called pages, where all your messages are kept. I had no idea I had this. I found people needing my help. People pouring their heart out to me about their circumstances and how crippling it is sometimes. So many I didnt even know I had until my incredible discovery today. I thought about my mom. How absolutely infused I am with her. Sometimes it feels too heavy, like a suit of skin that has lost its shape a just hangs their to weigh you down. Sometimes it feels like the skin holding your sanity together starts to split and crack and just simply falls away. Sometimes, and quite out of nowhere, it holds you together just when you need it to. What you are about to read is a gift, from so someone I dont even know, that was impacted by the life of my mom. I got this today, just when I needed confirmation that our place in this world is to impact. Make a difference. Give with joy. Reach out and touch someone, just like this angel touched me with her words... A friend liked your blog and I was immediately intrigued by the title but when I saw the picture of your mom I recognized her immediately. I worked with her at Dillards for years. She is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. I was mesmerized by the stories she told about her life during the holocaust. Even more remarkable to me is how she came through one of the most horrific times in history with such a beautiful, joyful spirit. She never missed an opportunity to talk about her family and all of her kids. (Arent there 6 of you?) Back then I probably could have named all you. I still have two angel Christmas ornaments she made me and though I have hundreds of ornaments those two go on my tree every year. She also wrote me the sweetest poem when I left Dillards. I had it framed and I still have it 19 years later. The word that always comes to mind when I think of her is Joy. She was joyful and she brought joy with her every where she went and she always left a little joy with you when she left. I was so moved by your blog. You are so courageous and generous to share this journey that you did not choose. I can tell that like your mom, you too are a survivor. Thank you for that and I hope it blesses you to share it as it has no doubt blesses those who read it.
