My mother, who was she? She was the epitome of Proverbs 31:10-31. She was beautiful, kind, gentle, classy, thoughtful, wise, loving, giving and strong! Did I mention she was beautiful? -- from her inner spirit to her outer spirit. She just was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1632451787167-9XJZKTTKPS3C4GGJ5QRN/IMG_4351.jpg Blog - My Mother, who was she? - Make it stand out My mom and dad with their children, grandchildren and twin great-grandchildren. https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/blog/97aknxxxn7wcy6e7j46bbswhsrmmay monthly 0.5 2021-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1628720827777-ENJXPKUSNTFZM0R3Y98I/945065_10151712281708970_364027920_n.jpg Blog - A letter to my mom on her birthday Happy Heavenly Birthday best friend, my twin, my angel…mommy! It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 9 years since you departed this Earth and that this is your 8th birthday I’m celebrating without you. As I write this letter I am filled with mixed emotions today as part of me is excited and anxious to meet my precious baby girl (and a little nervous too), part of me is happy to celebrate you, the amazing woman that you were and your life today and then part of me is sad and tearful because today is another reminder that you aren’t here so I miss you and wish you were here so I could celebrate with you. As I prepare to bring your grandchild into the world any day now, I am overjoyed to know that she will carry out your name as her middle name and will share the same birthday month as you and her great aunt Joyce. This has truly been the light for me these past 9 months. I have to admit at times it can be tough thinking about doing this without you but in my heart I know that you are still with me and you have prepared me for this next journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1628721086813-BX4SE0H1H5TNXPH7C0UA/26114067_10156078052638970_8098000750281845715_n.jpg Blog - A letter to my mom on her birthday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1628721009641-WSQLDGOQB87S7ZEHZLVC/10407936_10153292811508970_1630787271213449875_n.jpg Blog - A letter to my mom on her birthday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1628721065337-R882IVI54OV90N7T77AN/46090_432736793969_385264_n.jpg Blog - A letter to my mom on her birthday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1628724886109-MJ9Z7OU252UTYPW1LLK6/0.jpeg Blog - A letter to my mom on her birthday https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/blog/e3n523cx6h8hawsh6357b4k7hw4b2t monthly 0.5 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1627952419013-RW4LE6S76XWCHLLI96I3/tempImageErbvTm.gif Blog - The perfect addition but a piece is still missing 1. The first person I wanted to tell, after my husband of course, was my mom. Sadly, I couldn’t call her or go see her to tell her. In my head, I imagined the excitement she would have, the big smile on her face and possibly even a scream of joy. If we were in person, I could see her giving me a great big hug and whispering in my ear. All these things that I envisioned brought tears to my eyes and that one question of why? Why wasn’t my mom here to experience this moment with me and for herself? 2. As the visions faded, I began to have another concern, what if I have a miscarriage. Thankfully I had not had any miscarriages in the past, but I have known several people who have and seen how hard and painful it was for them to go through. I certainly began praying and asking God for a healthy and viable pregnancy, but the thought still was in my mind. I didn’t really envision this process but the question of how came to mind. How would I handle this if it happened without the encouragement and support of my mom? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1627952877584-CESSS9P5OXUK422HX6H6/0711D9DD-7F90-4178-97DC-06A97B327EA2_1_201_a.jpeg Blog - The perfect addition but a piece is still missing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1627952909430-30HVRWIH4DYY9A0600OF/64315B7E-B82E-43AC-BEF9-1B366B9D6E84_1_201_a.jpeg Blog - The perfect addition but a piece is still missing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1627952947885-WPOFSYCV6QA31STMYFV3/758DAF19-6C74-4A6F-87A8-3E638308615A_1_201_a.jpeg Blog - The perfect addition but a piece is still missing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1627952972248-SZGV91DDU1WVJ7Q933MZ/FC4AFBA9-12F2-4CE3-A01F-758AAA85AF71_1_201_a.jpeg Blog - The perfect addition but a piece is still missing https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/blog/jaz7re8z2lcdsam8j8fnz9lj72pw3f monthly 0.5 2021-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620606107425-VKTG091FRFPZJMSE4GND/59320217_4829025808877_8244034057877323776_n.jpg Blog - Mother’s Day Letter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620606118120-PKU6PMWXQX0PWHTF9R36/133629308_1509290242593817_2622377292639691604_n.jpg Blog - Mother’s Day Letter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620606231243-CYK08ZL9K2RHCXUOU7U5/163174_494881803969_7611854_n.jpg Blog - Mother’s Day Letter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620605971275-FRYRUPAWXPA8TFGB997S/unsplash-image-dimHl0emAqM.jpg Blog - Mother’s Day Letter https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/blog/d2ckybn4e7lypmjfts534e967xglwg monthly 0.5 2021-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620517237228-0PI7KGTMP828455I1GW3/Screen+Shot+2021-05-08+at+7.22.03+PM.png Blog - Letters To My Mom - Day 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620516621134-BRDXF6STEQQMUWXFE5DK/Screen+Shot+2021-05-08+at+7.21.35+PM.png Blog - Letters To My Mom - Day 3 https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/blog/r57rjzggs6nrrtlwcce3rd2brncpyt monthly 0.5 2021-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620422331470-LVBB8HTFBTP0B147XFJ0/0-1.jpg Blog - Letters To My Mom - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1620422173351-0DMHDO6KCUTHWTQ76KCD/0.jpg Blog - Letters To My Mom - Day 2 Dear Mom, What do I say….so much in my heart right now so be patient with me because you know I will switch gears in a hot minute.

What’s your why? - October 6th-12th is Physician Assistant (PA) week, a time when the PA profession is celebrated and those of us who have the honor of being PAs are shown appreciation for the work that we do. I have to say, this week my coworkers did an AMAZING job showering me with love. I truly felt special. One of the governing associations for PAs is AAPA, and each day this week they had a different theme. On Wednesday, October 7th the theme was “Share your why.” As I thought about this question the first thing that came to my mind was my mom. For me, it was going through the journey of my mom’s diagnosis of colon cancer that really led me to even explore the PA profession. From the age of 3, until after graduating college, I always dreamed of being a pediatrician. After college, while trying to determine if that was still the career path I wanted to take, I was introduced to the PA profession through a shadowing experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1602441836919-TLYRIR5125EG8S1WHEG3/IMG_0326.jpeg Blog - My why?

It was around 6/6:30am on Sunday, December 23rd and I was laying in bed sleep when my Aunt Joyce awakened me by shaking my right foot and then proceeded to tell me “the angel came to get mommy last night.” I remember immediately screaming “No” followed by “but I didn’t get to tell her goodnight.” It was at that moment that my life changed forever. I found myself in this place of loneliness and confusion as I now had to learn how to live a new life, a life of living without my mom on Earth with me. Honestly, when I was faced with this truth, I didn’t know how I was going to make it. The first few days were kind of a blur. Since my family was at the house for the Christmas holiday my mind stayed occupied. After our family left reality sunk in and it was time for me to figure out how to adjust and navigate this new life that I had been given. https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/home daily 1.0 2020-10-11 https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/about daily 0.75 2020-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1594934186399-HIYH4JJBJBRU2SF8OECK/profile%252Bpicture.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebf120ee52fc51448273a57/1594934227623-7GKI4A4R0BOF1QKVOU5Y/momandme.jpg About Charita and her mother https://www.daughtersofmomangels.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-04
