IF I Should Have to Go 10/28/16
If I must leave this earth, I want you to use my death as your rebirth. Take my breath, take my strength, take my smile and determination use it to nurture yourself. Carry on my son.
In your depths of grief and in your joyous moments of memory I do not think you shall ever know how much I loved you. I hope from beyond I can give you even more of that love. To the moon and back, deeper than the deepest sea, wider than the eye can see, more than the space shuttle and all that stuff. I have loved you. Pass love on.
More than anything I want you to know that LIFE IS WORTH IT. Even when it does not feel that way. My life had many ups and downs, that’s just part of the ride Keep your eyes open and your hands in the air. Feel it all… because feeling is living.
What my life brought me was you, my beautiful son, who taught me so much and brought me such moments of joy that I carry with me from here and beyond.
You, and your amazing father, were my life’s main purpose. I was here to bring you into this world and to be by your father’s side as he had to leave this world. Those two things have been my great privilege.
He and I are together now in another world. Continuing to shower you with love and eager to watch you share that love with others.
The purpose of life is just to share. Your love, your gifts, your time on this earth, with others. In whatever small or grand way God has chosen for you to do that.
There have been so many amazing people in your life that came through both your father and I. And other people that I have met for an hour or shared a whole lifetime with, within my lifetime. Reach out to them. They matter and they care. Share love with them every chance you get.
So, fly my giant “Sunday bird” fly. Make me proud. More than that make yourself proud. My life was never in vain… because I was your Mother. You were my gift from, and to, the universe. You were born to be great. Share with the world all the love you have been given and all the love you can create. Be happy my son.
