Three

Three. 

Wednesday June 1st, 2016 makes three. 

Three years since I've seen your face, heard your voice, and felt your touch. 

I remember three years ago feeling numb and really not knowing how I would ever make it in life. I remember thinking how will I make it one year without her? Three years without her? How will I make it ten more? Twenty? It really is so hard to comprehend.

In three years, I've faced a lot. There were times when I did not want to go to school anymore. All I wanted was to stay at home with Beau and Dad. I came home from college every weekend. And then there were times when I got brave and strong and did things I never thought I would do. 

I remember going to Nashville as a little girl thinking, I'm going to live there someday. It's been a dream of mine for as long as I can think back to. And now, here I am, with an apartment in Brentwood, an incredible job in Franklin, and living in the city of Nashville that I have always loved. 

So to be where I am today from where I was three years ago today... I get chills thinking about it. God's plan is always so good. I wondered if I would ever be happy again after mom died. I wondered if I would ever have the motivation to go out and pursue my dreams. But God gets you through it and gives you all the desires of your heart if you just trust him. 

If Mom were here, I know she would be sad that her baby girl would be moving. But I also know that she would be so proud of me for what I've accomplished in the last three years. 

Thank you Momma for never leaving me and being by my side through it all. I feel you every time I need you and know you are near. Thank you for being my angel. I love you forever and ever.
