🌟🕊️ Happy Birthday Mom! 🕊️🌟
Today, July 28, 2023, we gather to celebrate the life of an extraordinary woman, my Mom, Darlene Lara. Though she may no longer be with us in the physical realm, she shows presence strongly.
On this special day, as we remember the joy and love my Mom brought into the lives of my Dad, Bugalu, and I. Let us all reflect on the beautiful moments everyone shared and the lasting impact she made.
My Mom Darlene was not only a devoted mother but also a beacon of light for everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Even those that simply passed her by. Her love was unconditional, her wisdom inspiring, and her kindness and laugh extremely contagious. My Mom had a way of making others feel cherished, understood, and loved, leaving an indelible mark on their souls no matter whatever the situation was.
As we think of my Mom Darlene today, I ask everyone to recall the fond memories, the laughter everyone shared, and the warmth of her embrace. My Mom's Spirit continues to guide my Sister & I, reminding us to embrace life with the same love, compassion, and strength she exemplified.
Darlene's legacy lives on through the knowledge she imparted, the values she instilled, and the love she gave freely to my Sister & I. The impact she made on the lives of Bugalu & I is immeasurable, and her nurturing soul has helped shape the wonderful adults we have grown to be.
On this day of remembrance, please join me in honor of my Mom Darlene by spreading kindness, understanding, and love to those around us, just as she did throughout her life. My Mom's love and light will ALWAYS continue to shine brightly through my Sister & I in every way not missing one trait distributed between the both of us.
Mom, your physical presence is deeply missed, I can not lie about that. It's even more challenging now that Jon has transitioned as well. I do understand that our memories will forever be cherished in my heart.
Mom, Thank you for the love you shared, the wisdom you imparted, and the beautiful soul you are to us.. Please be in PEACE as you continue your journey, please assist Jon if he finds himself stuck anywhere during the process and I'll see both of y'all soon when it's my turn to transition.
🌹🌟I LOVE YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH FOR ETERNITY,
Forever in my Heart,
Your Son,
