17 years.
I've never really handled the 22nd of June super well. It's been a hard day ever since 2007.
Last September, I decided to try something new. Instead of just weathering the hard days, I would give myself a little gift to remember her by.
With yesterday being the typically hardest of the days, I decided my little gift should be a bit bigger. So I found myself up in Oscoda and in Lake Huron. I knew the water would be important to helping me, and I wasn't wrong.
I'm so thankful for every minute I got to spend with my mom. I'm also grateful for all the lives I've been able to touch and help thanks to how I was raised.
Remember to give those you love a hug and to make the most out of the time we're given. Our bodies may not last as long as we would like, but the impact we have on others can last for far longer.
