My mother passed away August 14th 2014. She passed away peacefully in her sleep in her apartment in Atlanta. I buried my mother on a Saturday, moved in to my college dorm on Sunday and started class that Monday. It was a very trying semester but I managed to make it through and even join my beloved sorority Zeta Phi Beta that year. I was completely unaware of the blessings coming my way the following winter break from school into Christmas. I had been extremely heart broken that I was unable to share my successes with my mother for the holidays. Little did I know I would receive a gift from my mother! Before her passing she had been Christmas shopping for a pair of boots that so dearly wanted. We were told that when my mother was found she looked to have fallen asleep while shopping on her iPad. Who would have thought that she ordered my gifts to be sent to Texas for Christmas! My mother was my everything and she still some how managed to heal my heart on Christmas. Each day I am thankful for you Lady Marie Eastes! Each Christmas will always be a reminder of your never ending love!🐞
