(me and Kenzie Wrigley Field 2009...i'm a diehard cubby fan!!!)Fallen,
Depressed,
Drowning in Sorrow,
Torn by Cancer,
Risen AGain,
Stepped out of the past,
Uplifted by the people who love me,
blessed with a new mom,
learned to love again.
- Mackenzie Harrison (11/2009)
So...for those of you new to my blog, Kenzie lost her mom at 11 years old to that icky gross vicious thing we call cancer. She has had a lot thrown at her at a very young age...from losing her mom, to her younger brother being diagnosed with autism at 2 1/2 years old, who is now 13 and a beautiful amazing young man!!
So needless to say, i am a proud mama!!! She is beyond her years in so many ways but hides it most of the time. This is when I really see her...through her poetry! I love her and she teaches me more than she knows!! I hope you all appreciate Mackenzie Nikole's words.
Sending out lots of love and hugs and kisses!! Hold those you love close...sometimes we don't even realize what we may be doing for someone else, just by being us!!
xoxoxox good night!
awsome...
