A Week Ago Today – For a Most Incredible Mother

Out of suffering

I feel incredibly sad today for Tim, Evelyn’s son who doesn’t have his mother on this Mother’s Day.  Tim was the center of Evelyn’s universe and vice versa, and I know he was the last thing on her mind as she died.

We never talked about it, but for the massive spirit that Evelyn was and is, she had to have endured great pain and suffering in her life.  I am grateful to her for the pain I now feel over her loss, and for the strengthening of my own spirit that I know will result, and I am sure for many others, including Tim.  Dearest Evelyn, in life you were such a loving, generous and caring person, and even in death you just keep on giving.  Thank you.

This quote by Kahlil Gibran to me describes Evelyn so profoundly:

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”

  1. Time heals all wound, but the scar will always remain. I was thinking of Tim today as well. I have some peace knowing i could directly tell him how his mom was so proud of him and how much she loved him. ….. I couldn’t help hugging my mom extra hard and long today thinking of Tim.
