My mom died in 2011 of a pill overdose. She fought hard, right up until the end. I was the one who found her.
Now, I know that I never lost my mom and never will. She taught me how to push through challenges; to survive.
Every day I get up and fight, she& #39;s there.

Parents, you live on through your kids. You teach them how to tie their shoes, and mend a cut. More importantly, through you they& #39;ll learn how to help, sacrifice, care, deal with emotions both good and bad. Through you they& #39;ll learn how to suffer, gracefully or not.
You& #39;re not just gone from the world after you die. Every time your kids tie their shoes or put on a bandage, you& #39;re there. Whether they& #39;re coping with pain, or saturated in a moment of peace, you& #39;re there.
This is, to a degree, true of everyone in your life whom you love. But, it& #39;s especially true of your kids. You& #39;re there with them, every day. They& #39;ll know it. They& #39;ll feel it.
Many, like I did with my mom, won& #39;t even realize this until it& #39;s all that& #39;s left.

The real you is what remains in this world after you& #39;ve died.
