Open Letter To My Mother In Heaven

One day those pearly white gates will open and I will see that pretty smile yours. One day everything will be okay.

Open Letter To My Mother In Heaven

3 years, 6 months, and 19 days.

185 weeks and 3 days.

1298 days.

31,152 hours.

1,869,120 minutes.

112,147,200 seconds.

That is how long the world has continued to turn since your soul, your beautiful soul left this earth. That is 1,298 sunrises that your eyes have yet to see. Your ears have become deaf of the sounds of our laughter. Your arms have been deprived of the warmth of our touch. Your heart perfect from the lack of ability to handle our pain.

I miss you.

I thought it would slowly become easier but some days the world flashes back into the moment you were taken away. I don’t see that going away for quite a while.

Our memories slowly becoming more difficult for my imagination to bring to real life. Slowly become just thoughts that pass through my mind occasionally. Your voice, a sound I thought I could never fathom to not hear a day in my life, wandering away as each day the world turns.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who remembers you, at times you come off as a figment of my imagination. What we had, the connection it feels so unreal now.

These feelings won’t last forever, I continue to tell myself this daily. As I have for the past 1,298 days.

It might not become better today, tomorrow, or even months from now. That is okay though, I have a reason to be sad. I have a reason to miss your beautiful voice and your warming touch. I had a chance to have such a beautiful, caring woman as my mother and that is the only thing that matters.

A sunshine is nothing without the sun, eventually they shall meet again.

I love you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
