Daylight was barely breaking as I crossed the Saluda and was full blinding me by the time I crossed the Catawba. Charlotte traffic was mild at 7:30 on a Saturday morning.
With time to spare, I pulled into Starbucks. With the creamy caramel sliding over my tongue and with my magazine before me, I opted for my phone and jumped on Facebook.
And there it was: Shine on my beautiful child. A message from mom in the form of an ad. That's SO perfectly something she would say, I could hear her voice in my head. It took my breath away.
I accepted the words. Had she been here, she would have spoken them. Now that the shock and disbelief have passed, the tremendous longing for her is intense.
Does she know I'm shining on? Does she know we are soldiering on? Does she know I feel her love and pride every single day? She left me such a treasure. ❤️
