Always With Me: Love That Lives On

 

 

Because some hearts are woven into ours forever. 

There are moments in motherhood, in quiet mornings, or during ordinary days when I feel the presence of those I've loved deeply — whether they've already left this world or are slowly preparing to. 

This space is for them.
It's for the memories we hold onto now.
For the ones we still get to make, even as we know how precious time is.
And for the pieces of their love that will stay with us always. 

Right now, as many of you are aware, my mom is bravely battling brain cancer.
Some days are heavy. Some are full of light. All of them are a reminder that love is both fragile and unshakably strong. Watching her face this journey has changed how I see time, motherhood, and the meaning of legacy. 

Here I'll share: 

Reflections on love and loss

Letters I'm writing while I still can, if I feel it is appropriate

Stories that shaped me

And the ways I'm carrying those hearts forward with me — and with Ariella. 

My mother is still with us as I'm writing this today. And I'm learning every moment matters more than words can hold. This is one way I'm honoring that time  — by remembering, cherishing, an preparing my heart. Some posts will be soft. Some might carry a lump in the throat. All of them will be written with love. 

This is "Always With Me."
A place for the love we never have to let go of. 

With heart,
Ariella's Mama
