I can't begin to share with u the feelings I feel after reading this because so many are going through my head. <br />It was absolutely beautiful. It made smile. <br />It was amazingly raw. It made me sob. <br />It was exactly, as only a mother could describe. <br />It made me think about my two young boys. <br />The love in your words touched me so deeply. <br />Thank you for that. <br />I met Sarah years back (4 1/2 yrs ago) when I found her on a site for milk donation. I'd decided to share with two amazing mothers out of all the other moms in need. Sarah's story touched me and when I looked her up and saw her I knew she was the one I was meant to help. I Can remember my husband giving me crap "what if this is a cancer scam to get ur milk over the other moms?! Make sure u get a deposit for the glass bottles that ur milk is being donated in" -I can remember being SO embarrassed by his response and my having to "ask for $20" as a deposit in case the bottles weren't returned. Sadly, shortly thereafter my body stopped responding to the breast pump and I could no longer express to donate. Truth be told I was kinda crushed. I wanted to help more. <br />But I've always been enamored by her amazing faith in God and her unshakable positive energy about everything. wow what a gorgeous soul she has and obviously an amazing family as well. <br />In the past 6 months I've lost my father, grandmother, father in law, best friend of 20 yrs father, and Sarah. <br />I cried really hard knowing she had to move to the next chapter of her NEW life and had to "leave"....I've been trying to look at our existence as college. We are here in college to learn and I've had friends/family who graduated earlier than me because theyve learned all they could so it was time fif them to go HOME. <br />I pray almost daily for all of u especially her beautiful girls. <br />I'm thankful I knew her. I'm thankful for Sarah sharing all these years. I'm thankful for your post. <br />U raised an amazing daughter and I'm sorry she had to graduate before u....but I pray u all find peace knowing she's not truly gone. She's busy meeting THE ULTIMATE movie star-no not George clooney lol ....God. <br />Many blessings to u and may God CONTINUE to bless you all. <br />Warmly,<br />Crystal Caccamo mcswigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914798078663654139noreply@blogger.com
