Gonoles, I did feel that way! My mother was also very insistant that I keep up with school and that was important. She was a teacher in so many senses of the word - I really really really think, with all of my heart, that she held out until Spring Break so my brother and I wouldn't miss any school. That'd be just like her.
I did want to deal with it alone for a while. I felt like people weren't going to like me if they found out my mom was sick - like maybe I'd spread the sickness to them (I know that sounds so silly!). But it's something you simply can not do alone. My sisters were the perfect support for me. DG's symbol is the anchor and my sister TRULY were my anchors through out the times surrounding my mother's death.
Check out SDT, see if it's a fit - it may be, it may not be! SDT's symbol is the torch...don't be afraid to let someone else light the way for you if you need them. Through my tragedy, the entire young chapter pulled together to help...it was amazing!
Even now that I've graduated, I come back to help with Greek life events on campus (like talking to freshmen at orientation) - because that is how much I BELIEVE in Greek life. I know it has lot's of bad stereotypes...but with all my heart, I believe it is good...very, very good. I really don't know where I'd be today with out my sisters!
I can't wait for everything that's to come too - I'm going to be one of my sister's maid of honor next year!! I'm so excited!
