**Mo**
Okay, so after reading the last year's predicitons thing, Mo, I think it's important not to beat yourself up about NOT being your old self. You're never going to be exactly like you were before the trauma. You can't be. The person you were before hadn't lost her children. NOBODY could go what you went through and come out unchanged. So, stop having an unrealistic expectation of yourself! You ARE still the sassy, fiesty MO. That person never went away. And how you are right now? That's how the sasy, fiesty MO feels, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Healing takes time, and even then, we carry scars with us forever. I hope this doesn't sound clich?d, but one day, that scar will stop defining you, and you'll be the one to decide how to wear it. One day. But there's no race to get there. You set the pace.
Re: **Mo**
I wholeheartedly agree with everything kaesha said. Feisty MO will come back, and maybe she'll be a different brand of feisty, but she'll still be MO. You will still be a fantastic teacher, just allow yourself some time.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I am completely in awe of how you've handled this as it is. You get out of bed (as far as I know) and you talk to friends on the internet. You still go to classes and do work. You're functioning, which is more than I could say for myself if this were to happen. You have always shown incredible strength, and I know that is exactly what will get you through this. There's no right or way to handle a tragedy. Please don't ever feel like you're doing the wrong thing. We are here for you any time you need.
Plus, what kaesha said.

MO I just wanted to say that I truly admire you for your courage. I completely agree with what kaesha said.
I'm late, but I second every single thing Kaesha said. I am in awe of you every day, and you're still in my thoughts. **hugs**
