I have a co-worker who mom passed away last week. At such a young age and it hurt my heart to see people go through the loss of a loved one. Seeing him go through his emotions and attending the funeral brought back so many emotions for me regarding the loss of my grandmother. To think of all the things his mom will miss and the empty space he will have in his heart on those special occasions, is heart breaking.
So today I baked and then I baked some more. Tomorrow we are holding a bake sale in honor of his family to raise money. It's something that my job has done for anyone who has losses a loved one. Makes me feel like I helped them even in this little insignificant way.
Hold them closer, kiss them goodnight and love to your fullest.
