Momless

Frequently, the mother-daughter relationship is tricky; you either have the closest link or a tumultuous one. My relationship with my mother was a combination of both. Years passed before we were ultimately on the same page, but the outcomes were so unexpected and inexplicable. My mother was the source of my most important life lessons. I witnessed her at the pinnacle of her existence, and while she endured hardships and tribulations, I went through the same experiences. We grew close during a moment in my life when I needed her the most, and over time she became my inspiration and driving force. But all good things must come to an end, and as we reached the conclusion of our voyage together, I was able to see and learn more from my mother. As she faded from my life, I also gained insight from her passing, and I wouldn't give a second of her presence for anything. She was a priceless gift that God gave to me until he required her return.
