CNN.com wins Edward R. Murrow Award
My mother Cheryl D. Westmoreland passed away on April 1, 2008 of sudden cardiac arrest after years of abusing cigarettes and alcohol, she was 54 years young. A victim of the the addictions we are faced with today. Her painful journey is over and mine has just began.
Life without her is almost unbearable even 3 weeks later. My mother was an organ donor, I do have that to look forward to, possibly several other peoples lives could be changed drastically with the gifts she gave and I wait to hear good news.
Be happy your mother gave you life. Love your mother as if she could die tomorrow, tell her how beautiful she is, and give her a big kiss if you can, in honor of my mother...
