Three years ago tomorrow, marks the day I lost my mother figure to cancer. I’ve proclaimed this day, many times on Good Vibes Sunday, as the the reset button. Better yet, it was the best and worst day of my life. It was the day my entire life would take an unexpected change forever. How can death be the best day and worst day of anyone’s life you ask? It was the worst day because the pain that comes from losing a mother so early on is unlike anything anyone should have to endure. However, although it wasn’t clear to me at the time, I now know it was also the best day of my life because my foundation was revealed and I didn’t like what I saw. I learned that times of crisis reveal the foundations our lives sit on, and after her passing I began to discover how to rebuild mine. I wanted a solid foundation, I wanted one that could last through any crisis and I wanted one built on love. As god would have it, it wasn’t a one and done, the journey began the day of her death and carries me through each day. Today I stand on higher ground because of her, her life and her death taught me more about myself than I ever dreamt could be possible. On today’s Good Vibes Sunday I recap the episode I recorded this time last year in attempt to surface my journey.
