I was never close with Sharon, but we traveled in the same circles, being another Cole School kid. I was beyond nerdy and socially unskilled, but she was one of those rare people that was always nice to me. I think I got in trouble once at Cole for staring at her at lunch. She was so pretty! I didn't see much of her until I worked at Roches in the courtesy booth. When she came to cash her checks, it was always a relief to take a break from the more demanding customers and chat with her for a bit.
I totally lost it at her wake, because you are living my absolute nightmare. I have a child with medical issues, and it scares me that even if I take him to the best doctors, give his meds, and take care of him as best I can, he might still be torn away from me. Losing Sharon has motivated me to fight harder for his doctors to treat more proactively and has made me advocate for him harder and without any guilt for being "that mom." I no longer beat myself up for renting because I spend all of my money on keeping him healthy and comfortable. I sincerely want to say thank you for being so open with Sharon's story and your grief, because you and Sharon have motivated me to be a better mother and caregiver.
She is so missed.
