I thanked her for sharing a part of her day with me, but in reality, she shared much more.
Today, July 14th, is the one year anniversary of her daughter's death. She would have been 24. I'm 22. To commemorate, she's doing things today that her daughter liked to do: hiking in the mountains and going to the temple.
Today, July 14th, is the day that I met this amazing mother. She's the same age as my mom and has the same amount of children, ranging in the exact same ages. Except for this woman lived to see her child die.
But she is strong. She is active (she beat all of her children up to the top of the hike). And she is positive. (Did I mention she's also strictly organic and only eats whole foods?)
She inspired me.
Dear lady, I hope you're proud. Because I was proud to meet you.
