Day 506 - Spreading the love.

[foxmonkey]

Because I'm NSync's bitch, and apparently scot_ty's as well, I'm answering her question, "where is the love?" I got your love hangin', baby.

Short preamble: This is one of my favorite NSync memories, and it concerns two of my favorite things, NSync and my mom. I came into the fandom on January 28, 2001. Celebrity was released on July 24, 2001. My mother died on October 1, 2001.

On July 21, 2001, The Road to Celebrity aired on MTV. I'd made plans to tape the special, because Mom was coming over for a Girl Day. This is what happened. :-)

You don't know me, but you made me get all teary. My mom is sick, and I really don't expect her to be here for Christmas

Ah, now it's my turn to cry! I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.


I don't mean to get all personal here, but I can't imagine not knowing beforehand, not being able to say goodbye. It's hard enough knowing I will have to say goodbye soon.

Honestly, I'm glad it was quick. I was so, so lucky that I'd seen her the day before!

I was away from LJ for two weeks, and here's my first post after.

I love the quote from "The Prophet" (in my post) especially the last five lines. I'm not spectacularly religious, but those lines really give me a sense of peace and comfort.

Sigh. I *know* death is a part of life, and I know children are supposed to outlive their parents, but I'm not ready. She's my best friend. Your post made me smile as well as cry, because I have lots of good memories of us together. And she's still here, so maybe we can make some more.

"For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?"

I think I'm going to hold onto this. Thank you so much.

And now, off to Merry's Challenge, to let Chris cheer me up.
