Today my world changed.
My heart is broken.
Today, she left us.
My beautiful, funny, strong, independent, courageous mom…
She’s gone.
And my heart aches and my hands shake and the tears are overwhelming and my heart is broken and I miss her so much I can’t speak.
There are no words.

I am so so sorry.
Jill says
Kylee. Oh my word. This is the worse most awful post and yet most beautiful post I've ever read from you. I don't even know what to say except for that I'm very sorry. So very sorry to hear this. While you're miles away (and we've never hugged), know that I'm going to be hugging you on and off forever. Oh Kylee. I'm so sad for you. For your family. This is something that no one wants to ever face. I'm so sorry. So so so sorry.

Kylee, I am so very sorry. Shirley will always have a special place in my heart as one of the strongest women I have known. She had a profound affect on me when we were teenagers and she taught our senior high sunday school classes, as someone who I could always talk to about life being tough. She always had the BEST advice. Even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. Your family is in my prayers.

This is a beautiful tribute. The effort alone of your collection of posts would make your mom stand back and say “WOW!”. I started tearing up when I got to the page on your site that showed the list of your blog articles about your mom…
THERE WERE SO MANY!!! And I was really moved how you do them annually now on September 9th. I LOVE THAT.
I thought to myself….I can totally relate…
I LOVE your LOVE for your mom. It makes me feel normal for missing my mom so much. I lost her about a year ago to a heart attack at the tail end of the best day I’d had with her in over 20 years.
Thank you for being you. I’ve found that having a “healthy cry of remembrance” is nurturing for the soul. At least it is for me. 😉
