Today we laid Rhonda to rest. She is no longer suffering or in pain but she will still be missed greatly. There is a void in each of our lives that she used to fill. As I looked at Colton and Kaitlyn my heart broke and it made me think; what am I doing to take care of myself. We take for granted that we are healthy but that could all change tomorrow. Being a single mom, I dread the thought of leaving Zach here on Earth without a parent. He has family but he only has me as a parent and he relies so heavily on me. I have decided to make a better effect to eat healthier and get the right vitamins, antioxidants, etc. Also, making sure I go for my check ups once a year and doing my own exams. Sometimes you can't fight destiny but I am not going to let anything sneaks up on me.
Another thing I learned from Rhonda; her positive attitude. No matter what life was handing her, she was always smiling, always hopeful. She never let you in on how bad it was or if things were going badly. If she can find hope in her situation then what on Earth do I have to complain about.
This is the second mother of one of my son's friends that has passed away in the past year. It makes me think, worry really. So many babies who will grow up without mothers. I can't imagine doing that to my son but sometimes you can't control it. I am going to love and enjoy my son everyday we have each other.
On a lighter note, 8 more days of school! Zach and I are going to the Zoo tomorrow on a field trip with my environmental club. It is going to be a nice change. I will post pictures soon.
