❤️ I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize to all of you for being so distant and out of touch. I know I’ve been quiet and have stepped away from many things, and I truly hope you can understand why.
Several months ago, I lost my mother, and honestly, I don’t think there are enough words to explain just how deeply this loss has affected me and my family. She was such a huge part of my life, and losing her has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to face.
For a while, I simply needed to step away from everything. I needed time to grieve, to be with my family, to process everything I was feeling, and to try to find a way to heal. After spending so much time caring for my mom and being by her side, suddenly having to learn how to live without her has been incredibly difficult. There have been days when just getting through the day has been a struggle.
I know I may not have been as present, responsive, or involved as I once was, and for that, I am truly sorry. Please know that my distance was never because I stopped caring or appreciating the people around me. I was simply hurting and needed to give myself permission to step back and focus on healing and taking care of my family.
I want you all to know how incredibly grateful I am for each and every one of you. Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, reached out, shown patience and understanding, offered encouragement, or simply continued to support me throughout the years. Even when I didn’t have the strength or words to respond, I noticed it, and it meant more to me than you will ever know.
I’m slowly trying to find my way back, one day at a time. I’m still healing, and I know there will always be a part of me that misses my mom and wishes I could pick up the phone and talk to her. But I’m doing my best to move forward while carrying her love and everything she taught me with me.
Thank you for giving me grace during one of the hardest chapters of my life. Thank you for understanding when I needed to disappear for a while, and thank you for continuing to be there even when I wasn’t able to be present.
From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate each and every one of you and all the love and support you have shown me throughout the years. ❤️
