My mom passed away yesterday afternoon. She was 54 years old, and in that relatively short time she managed to leave behind an amazing legacy. She left behind a legacy of unconditional love, service, and any good quality you can think of. I look at my life and realize that I'd better start working a lot harder because I want to leave a legacy like her's.
I'm happy my mom isn't suffering anymore. The last few days were hard to watch. But I miss her. Almost every memory I have includes my mom in some way. Everything I look at reminds me of her. I know I'll keep doing my best, but it will be a lot harder without my best friend and mentor.
I'm happy to think of my mom and Linz together again. I'm sure mom was so happy to see her. I know that even though I won't see my mom again for a long time she'll still be a big part of my life. I'll still try to do what I know would make her happy. And I know that she'll do everything she can to help me from the other side. I look forward to seeing her and Linz again.

Laura- Your mom was such an incredible person. I still think of her as one of my absolute favorite young women's adviser. She did leave an incredible legacy. I know I am a better person having known her.

I am so sorry about your mother Laura. I couldn't even imagine being in your shoes. Your family has been through so much these past few years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time.

I haven't read any blogs for several weeks but decided to check and see if you'd written anything new before I come see you tomorrow. I'm SO sorry to hear about your mom! What a bittersweet post! How wonderful that your mom is out of pain and is with Lindsey, and how wonderful she made it through Christmas! But what a hard trial. I'm glad you have such supportive friends and family. I agree with Olivia -- your positive attitude is amazing. Although I'm sure you don't always feel like one, you are a rock. I can't wait to see you!
