Not alone.

Dear Mom,


It's a weird thing how people can find comfort in instances of tragedy. 


Today, I discovered two people that I know have also lost their mothers. When I was told this I felt... all over the place. But all in all, I felt comforted. I mean, I hate that so many other people out there have felt the same kind of pain that I have had to go through. I would never ever wish this on someone else. 
But knowing that you're not the only one going through this, knowing that you're not alone... it's nice. It's really nice. 


It breaks my heart to know that I have to use two hands to count how many people in my life that I know are struggling through their high school or college lives, while going through a loss of a parent. But I think the experiences we go through when we attempt to heal that pain, really lets us help those around us. 


Okay, getting a little overgeneralizedy here. All I'm trying to say is that it's really nice to know that there are people close to me that know what it's like to lose a parent. And even though that's a horrible thing to have in common with someone, at least we have each other to lean on when the bad days come.

P.S. I'm getting a tattoo. You have been warned. I'll explain more on that later. :) I know you're grimacing right now, but know that there's a lot of meaning behind it, and I'm obsessing over it. More on that later. :)
