She was our mom, the
solver of problems, the ear that would always listen and the voice of reason.
To her final days my mom would say that there are days that she wished she
could just call up her mom and chat. I now know how she feels.
The positive lesson that I am
experiencing is that life does continue. Each day I wake up, get dressed, and
take a step forward as I learn to navigate a world where my mom doesn't exist
physically. Tears of sadness still flow, yet so does laughter, joy, gratitude,
and love. And this is what my mom would've wanted. Her legacy will live on, and
she will be remembered by all of those her loved her. She was truly
one-of-a-kind.
Until our paths cross again, may your
wings soar, and your spirit rise and may you find solace in the strength of
those who made 'the journey' to the next life before you. Forever in our hearts
Mom!
P.S. Dad is working hard at
"painting the world beautiful for you." He sends his love. He will be
okay, we all will.
Lastly, we have set up a Karen Nevitt
Memorial Scholarship with CFUW Headwaters where she was an active member for
nearly 20 years. If you wish to contribute please visit their Facebook page or
