Tuesday Mission/Strength
Good Morning TMB,
I hope Monday was good to you. Mine was "okay". I hate filing and spent most of my work day doing that. Oh well it comes with the territory right?! Today marks 5 months since I lost my baby boy. It doesn't matter that it hits every 21st of the month. A mother needs no reminders that her child isn't physically here. I ask that you guys keep me in much prayer today because I know at times I struggle so very hard. Some people think "time has passed, aren't you over it yet?" Though I moved to Round Rock to start a new life with David, the fact remains, old life, new life, I am missing my son. It will always be that way.
To Kris M. your words from the last time I saw you ring loud in my thoughts today. I love you!
Blessings,
Nina
Mission:
Just as a star is a beacon of light. You too are a beacon of light. You may never know when your light is inspiring someone else along his or her way. Radiate love, respect, and acceptance. You are brought to each situation in life for a purpose. It is up to you to let your light shine brightly.

People who think you should be over it already have never lost someone truly close to them. Grief is a long, non-linear process and for people to treat it like it is is ignorant on their part. The pain never truly goes away, but it does get to a point where it's manageable.
Sending you lots of healing prayers and happy thoughs of Chito today to soothe the pain of your loss.

Nina- my prayers are with you. People want you to be "over it" because it makes them more comfortable. Just ignore them. I hope today is filled with good memories of your son. Be kind to yourself today-do something just for you today-even if its a walk at lunch outside someplace quiet-if its not raining of course.
I thought of this song when I saw your mission statement- I think it goes along with it, and it totally reminds me of you.

A Small Star
Joyce Johnson Rouse
You don't have to feel brave to be brave And I don't have to feel strong to be strong We don't have to feel inspiring to inspire Remember when your road is rough and long
Even a small star shines in the darkness For someone somewhere to see It lights the way for those in the distance That's what your courage means to me
Maybe there are times you feel lonely Like no one sees the world the you do Remember each of us is made uniquely, And no one ever sees their own magnitude.
Chorus
So don't be afraid to be a little brilliant Don't be afraid to shine in someone's eyes If we can trust the gifts that sometimes make us different Then we can all learn to shine, shine shine!
Chorus
