Today is my momās heavenly birthday.
She passed away after a two-year battle with cancer.
My mom always dreamed of owning a Louis Vuitton purse. It was something she and I would talk about often, and in 2019, while we were on a trip to Las Vegas, we chose this purse together. My dad bought it for her, and Iāll never forget how happy she was that day. She was absolutely gleaming. From that moment on, she carried it everywhere and wore it every single day. Once I got my ābig girlā job, I bought her the matching wallet, which made it even more special.
Today, I wore her purse. And although it may seem like a small or silly thing to some, carrying it with me made me feel like a little piece of her was with me today.
She was the best mother, grandmother, sister, and wife. She was taken from this world far too soon, but I will forever be grateful for the time we had with her.
One of the greatest gifts was that she got to meet my baby boy and know him for four precious months. She loved my babies so deeply. She held on until my little girl had the chance to say goodbye, and I will always believe that she waited for that moment.
I know she is at peace now, resting and watching over us. But I miss her every single day.
Itās because of her that I love Louis Vuitton so much. It will never just be a brand or a purse to me. It will always remind me of my mom ā of her excitement, her pride, and the joy she felt carrying that bag. And now, every time I carry it, I get to carry a little piece of her with me.
