​Warriors…so many warriors of love in this world who go unnoticed…I guess instead of venting and spewing,  it’s time to share light, love, courage, and  people who live ordinary lives doing ordinary things who make an extraordinary impact on the people around them.

My mom, a young woman with 3 children aged 15, 12 and 9 whose Husband, best friend, and father to her 3 children left this world unexpectedly.   She went from a wife out on a date night with her beloved, to a widow, in a matter of less than 24 hours.  She was there through sports practices, games, forenics, all the extra curriculars, jobs, licenses, college applications, grandkids, marriages, moves,  ups downs and in between.  We never thought to wonder if she was ok…she was mom, she was always ok…though I know now that could never have been true.  But she put on her warrior armor and she fought her pain to pull us thru.  Mom, you ARE a warrior,  you stand strong for your beliefs, you don’t let the naysayers change your heart.  You have taught us to BE who we are and never apologize. Hold your head high warrior mom, you raised 3 children who live, and love and who know that God gave us you, because we’d need a warrior to carry us til you taught us to walk and fight, for love, on our own.
