What is life? Why do we live? What is living? These are all questions I ask myself and refuse to answer. How are we living and dying simultaneously. Do we live to die? I want to know these answers but I do not want to find them myself. If only I could ask as a child does when asking their mother why the sky is blue. It seems I cannot hold on to truth. Sometimes I feel I am close, however this truth is inevitable. I want to grasp the sunrays that light the world
Live, dance, love, sing, comfort
These are all words that remind me of my mother. I refuse to think about what my life would be without her as I refuse to answer these questions about life. I want to always hold my mothers hand because it is at that time that I feel I am grasping the sunlight and dancing to life's rhythm, subconsciously knowing why I live but still not having an answer.

Dear Anna,
I wish I were wise enough to give you your answers; I am not. I can only tell you that if you use your talents, and your actions are guided by your good heart , you will spread joy to those around you. You will become the sun on a rainy day, the uplifting song in the silence, and the anchor in another's turmoil.
Hold your mother's hand and squeeze it gently. You are there for each other and each of you will light the other's path. Enjoy life and laugh a lot, surround yourself with the people you love and you will find the answer to your questions. Sometimes answers do not come in words but come silently and settle in your soul and you know they are there.
I wish I could be more helpful.
Please visit me when you go back to school. I will always be happy to see you.
Enjoy summer, enjoy family, enjoying being you.
Ms. McMillin
Hey Anna,
Your blog was so touching.I hope that you find comfort in just being with your mother. She seems like such a strong and caring person and you should be so happy to know that you have also inherited those traits. I hope to see you when I get back.But just know that I am here to listen whenever you need someone to talk to.
