15 Lessons I Learned From Mommy

This week will make fifteen years since my mother has been gone from this earth. It feels like yesterday, and I’m shocked and amazed that I’ve made it this long without her.

I had an incredible twenty years and nine months with her here, and I learned so many things that have gotten me through even today. Some things she taught me directly and some things I learned from watching how genuine and loving she was as a person.

So, I’ll share fifteen things I learned from mommy.

4. Love yourself enough to walk away.
5. Put your children first.
6. Family is the most important thing you have.
7. Don’t hold onto bitterness.
