Among the wonderful "words of wisdom" this courageous mom shared with the world after the death of her beloved son Wade in 1996 (which by the way is when she retired from being a lawyer) - this is one of my favorite quotes from her...Cherie Houston
"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention their child because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died -- you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift. "
How blessed she is to have had her son waiting for her - I'm sure their reunion just a few days ago on December 7th was just as wonderful as she'd always imagined....
