Em Her Herd

Words like “warrior” and “survivor” get thrown around a lot these days. I often really struggle using these words in either my personal or professional life because I never want to offend, or upset someone with the words I have chosen to describe them or their journey or story.
 
However, in this case, I have searched and searched the English language to try and find another word for the incredible Em and I just cannot find one!
 
Em is a survivor...
Em is a warrior...
Em is a true testament of dust yourself off and pick yourself up. 
 
I have sat and pondered how I can do this incredible woman, her family, her loved ones, her story, and journey justice in words, in 2000 characters for that matter (thanks instagram). I can’t. It’s actually impossible!
YOU JUST HAVE TO LISTEN!
 
Em has been through it all, and I mean literally ALL. She is the type of women you could throw the kitchen sink at, and she would be absolutely knee deep in the trenches fighting with you, and for you long after you have given up. I don’t know how to summaries her story apart from there is LOVE, LOSS, AND HOPE! 
My god there is so much hope! 
 
So, to honour Em, the only way I know how, I am going to borrow from this beautiful, and intelligent women. I am going to borrow how she summarised her why (from the words of one of her favourite country music singers).
“Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're goin'
Don't forget turn back around
Help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind”.
 
Em thank you so much for sharing your story. You are an incredible women, mother, and friend. We wish you only good things!
