Walk for Hunger and Miss My Mama
Today was the anniversary of the day my mom passed away....and this year has been the hardest to deal with her being gone since I know she would have been such a help to me and stood by me no matter what.
Everyone always says they love their mom...well, almost everyone, but my mom was truly one of the best people I have ever known. She was so kind and nice and peaceful. She encouraged me to be the best version of myself and always saw the best in me. I truly believe I became a social worker because I saw my mom's kindness and grace towards others and tried my best to do the same. I've always said that if I could be 1/10 of the woman my mom was...I'd be in a good space.
I love her and miss her to pieces. I wanted to find a way to honor her and do something productive, active and that would make a difference in the world. Last year I ran the Run to Home Base on this date and this year...the Walk for Hunger happened to fall on 5/4. It was perfect. I could use the 20 miles of solace and thinking and just putting one foot in front of the other. I also could go out with hundreds and hundreds of other people who have set out to make the world a better place. My mom would always volunteer her time and efforts to helping those in need. I joined the missions committee at our church....because she used to do that and I always felt close to her when I was in service to others.
Today was a wonderful day. I felt her with me....completed something I didn't know if I could do...and helped people in my community have access to food and services.
All in all. A good day. Love you mom.
