Good morning, How are you this beautiful Sunday morning? As I sit here thinking about the Ultimate Blog Challenge and the prompts they gave us this morning.

I sat and tried to figure out what I wanted to write about when it popped into my head. My beautiful daughter Suzzane. As we was asked to write about What inspires you? Who inspires you?

So you may ask how could your daughter inspire you and today I would like to tell you a little bit about Suzzane. As she was only on Earth until she was 16. But she touched so many people in life. As well as in death.

That I wasn’t only blessed to be her mom but also her best friend. I am privileged I was able to know her. Suzzane overcame so much in her life from learning diabilities to bullying. But she never let it get her done.

Everything she did she did with a smile on her face. She forgive the kids who bullied her and made them her friends. She went to work at 14 in a Day Care and took care of little children that simply adored her.

Then in the blink of an eye she was gone and you would have thought her life was over. But it wasn’t because like in life she was still helping people in death as we was able to donate her organs and she saved 70 people.

As I was dealing with her death letters was arriving and phone calls from people I didn’t know that had meet Suzzane and they would tell me stories of things she did and I just wwas amazed. As how many people she helped and how many lives she touched.

As I move through life daily I still find people that either meet Suzzane in person or knew someone that knew her. Or had heard about her and just wanted to thank me.

So today I would just like to say Suzzane I love you, I miss you and I admire you. I was Blessed when God chose me to be your mom. I know your watching over me and I am so happy your my Angel because with your support I can do anything I set my mind to. And so can Charlie as he knows and loves you as well.

RIP

Love, always Mommy
