Don't Cry for Me! A Reflection of a Life Cut Short



February 10, 2013 will mark what would have been my mother's 63rd birthday! A life cut short at 57 in 2007. This song is definitely a true reflection of my mother's struggles in life and her impact on others. My mother's struggles with physical and mental illness have taught me that life, and a healthy one at that, are not guaranteed. What is guaranteed is that through every trouble in life that is either personally felt or through the life of another can truly bless your life. My mother's battles were those that most could not bear and in the end she was tired and needed to leave this world to live a life without illness. Her life provided me a road map to what true perseverance is and inspired my to live a life where my mission is to improve the lives of others. Her strong spirit now resides in my soul and is a source of strength and comfort has I move through this maze called life.
