Dear Mommies,
Last week a woman passed away at my workplace.
They found
her in the ladies’ room. Although her co-workers called EMT immediately, it was too late.
She was dead about 20 minutes after getting in the office door. She wasn’t old or sickly.
I’ll admit,
it feels kind of odd to be in the same ladies room stall as she was in her final moments.
To know that her last breaths on earth were taken in her place of work.
I don't think anyone wants to die where they work—unless it’s your
business. Even then, we want to be surrounded by those who love
us and by those who want to help us die peacefully.
I hate to
be morbid, this blog is about encouraging you in your mommyhood journey.
But I wanted to tell you that no matter what happens this holiday
season—life is too short to stress or feel negative or overwhelmed.
So, promise
yourself you’ll shop less and hug more. You’ll bake less and smile
more. You’ll tell someone that you love them even when they aren’t
acting very lovable.
Please know in your heart of hearts, your babies would rather
you around for them than hand-crafted gifts, cookies or toys.
Relax Mommies, you've got this!
