The WAHM community is a small community.  If you are just starting out, it may seem huge, but the core has been interconnected for years. It’s taken me a while obviously to post this and I really struggled with how personal it hit me. But I’m always about everyone learning from what I learn, so here I am all out there for you to pick-a-part.

It was shocking and horrible to get up late this morning (6/28, yes that was a bit ago now) and find out that Denise Willms had passed away suddenly on Sunday.  Devastating for a few reasons.  The unexpectedness for one thing.  She’d just celebrated her birthday on Friday turning barely older than I.  Our kids are of a similar age.  I can remember when she was a complete newbie and took over WAHM-articles from my good friend. It’s been awesome to watch what she’s done over the years with it.

Being the same age and being so young this is hitting home for me. I can take a look at my life right now and like the direction I’m going with both family, friends and work. No, I’m not making the money I would like to, but that’s not what people will remember about me anyway I hope. My hope is that I’ve left everyone, especially my family, with many moments that they can start with…”Do you remember when…?” I want to be home to leave those moments, not away working so many hours that I miss out on the moments.

If you would like to leave your condolences a memorial page has been set up. I know Denise touched a lot of people’s lives and many will miss her.

I felt it hard because I am not where I want to be. With my family and friends, yes, but in biz…NO. I felt it extra hard because I have more than I want on my plate and more than I want associated with me if something did happen. Telling isn’t it? Drop the crap woman!

Denise will continue to touch my life. It’s unbelievable to me that she won’t hit me on twitter at any moment. I’m wondering if it’s even worse for online relationships to move onward than the offline? I’m not comparing how much more she touched those in her life she had daily interaction physically with, but I am wonder because I didn’t have the daily. So here I just keep waiting for that quick blurb from her It’s difficult to believe it will never happen and my heart goes out to her family. She will be missed and I will put her memory to great use. I will keep my priorities in check and keep enjoying every second with my family that I am given
