To Know You Are Enough

   I've decided that I will never get over losing my Mom.  It's been 17 years since she passed away, and still at times, the hurt is as deep and as strong as the day she left.  Today has been one of those times.   I miss her so much.  I always felt so safe with Mom.  I knew that I could be myself,  and whoever that was, that's the person she loved.  There isn't a more comfortable and peaceful feeling than that - to know that you are enough.  Reason says that that feeling would make a person complacent and unwilling to push and fight for improvement.  But oddly enough, it has the opposite affect.  I always wanted to please Mom.  Not because she shamed me into it, but because her unconditional love motivated me and gave me confidence to move forward and improve.
