“Could not agree more! I’m an independent mom that lost both my parents (one month apart) two years ago. My mom died in my arms…there’s been some trauma…she was my bff. BUT, I choose to take that as a lesson = life is short and I know they would want me and my daughter happy,” a fourth user shared. “So we are always find happiness and inspiration in some part of each day. Just love this…from @humblethepoet. You can still choose your own paradigm.”
