I haven't written in awhile, and the tone of this post will be different from the others. Today, my boyfriend's mother passed away after fighting a long hard battle with A.L.S. Today is both somber and peaceful. While it breaks my heart and I will miss her so very much, it is good to know she is no longer in pain. Over the last two years that I have known her, I saw her slowly loose the control she once had over her body. However, throughout everything, she maintained her sweet spirit, her happiness, and her mind. She was a remarkable woman who touched so many around her. She made me strive to have a happier outlook on life. I would, and still do, complain about my mundane life, the many small inconveniences of my day, and other minute issues. And there she was, in constant, unrelenting pain, with a smile on her face grateful for everyday. I hope someday that I can be more like her.
Rest in peace, Claire. You were loved by so many.
