This Is Not The End...Life Still Moves On

John 8:12: When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

What does family mean to you? As you read this just keep that question in mind....

I was born in China. If I remember right my Mom told me I was left at a bus stop found by a police officer, so born in China and left to either die or be found. I was found and taken to an orphanage where my foster mom took care of me for 9 months. I had No Mom, No Dad, and no information on what was going on because I was just a baby.
My Mom (Conna) and Dad (Paul) brought me to America, land of the free. Where I would be given the chance to have a better life and so much more freedom. These past months have really been some of the hardest, yes I have had some good things happen through all of this but life never stopped.

Before my Mom died I would cry myself to sleep, cry at school and just ask God so many things that I didn't understand like...Why did my Biological Mom give me up, Why didn't she keep me, Where is she now and then to have my Forever Mom unexpectedly pass away that made me ask him, Why did you take her away, Why is this happening to our family? 

I don't know my Biological mom or know anything about her and not knowing any of that is hard, but then not having my Mom here anymore as well is even harder. I can no longer ask my Mom to help me with things, and she won't be here in person for the upcoming things for us kids. I'm a teenage girl, I dream of my wedding when I grow up, I watch Say Yes To The Dress, Four Weddings, any wedding show on TV I will probably like, I would always see the bride without a Mom and think to myself... "Man that must be so hard, and to not have her Mom here for her wedding or when she has kids that is going to be hard for her." and now...I'm going to one day be like that bride. I have many motherly figures in my life that I look up to but none of them could replace the spot that my Mom had in my life.

My Dad continues to give us kids all he can and provide for us, we are very fortunate to have so much.

Family....everyone has a different definition of family but mine definition would be...those who stick together through thick and thin, the never leave anyone behind, they always love and they are number one on their list, main priority. Without Family we wouldn't be anywhere.

I have told my friends to spend as much time as they can with family, yes Moms and Dads can be embarrassing at times but they will always be there for you in the end and they love you no matter what! They are your biggest fans in life and no matter what life throws at you....they will ALWAYS be there for you because they love you for YOU.
