Jennifer's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
Introduction
August 11th, 2002
Collin is 13 months old.
Last year on this very same day, my mother, Tanya King McDonald passed away from breast cancer that had spread to her brain.
She was such a strong woman full of hope and courage. There isn't a month, a week, or a day that goes by that I don't think of my mom. Each day I look at Collin, I'm reminded of her beauty, her will, her lovely face, her warm laugh, her eyes, her smile. What a sweet reminder he is of her.
I've come to realise that the pain of losing my mother will never fully go away and that I will always hold onto that empty feeling within my soul. There are days where I swear, this must be a dream.
August 11th, 2001, I didn't want to let my mom go, but I know that God needed her. He told her it was time to come home and home she went. I know that one day she'll be holding me in her arms once again and the pain within my heart will heal.
Life goes on and the sun always rises. My mom would want me to live my life, be happy and, above all, be a good mommy! As I look at my son, I know without a doubt, I've made my mom proud!
Rest In Peace, Mom. I Love You Dearly!
Your Daughter, Jennifer
