Family Is What Matters MOST!!
My grandmother, aunt, and mom |
This past friday, March 25, I attended Relay for Life at Ole Miss. I was so graciously asked to tell my story of my mom fighting cancer along with Margaret Ann Morgan who also lost her mom just a few months earlier. Saying yes was not an easy thing to do, but I knew it was the right thing to do. Getting in front of people and telling them my personal life of my mom, how she passed, and how I am coping with her gone, was definitely not a walk in the park; I would say it had to be one of the toughest things I have ever done. But with the support from my family, friends, and my Ole Miss family I did it. I told the trials and tribulations that face me and my family during my mom's battle with cancer, and how it was the hardest thing to say goodbye to my mom, my best friend. At times I felt alone up on stage with everyone watching me, but I knew my mom was standing right next to me.
It was so awesome to see the support of everyone that night. I truly could not have done it with out them. Of course there were times where I was crying and just wanted to run off stage in tears, but I knew that my story had to be told in order to help others out there.
In the end, I know that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan out there for all of us. That plan might not be to all of our expectations, but its something that we hall have to have hope and faith in. God's works are amazing, and we should never take Him for granted!!
This song is one of my mom's favorite songs.. It's not who you knew, it's not what you did, it's how you lived!!
