In the months following the original interview Tae’lor lost her mother. As someone who has gone through a similar experience I didn’t want to publish a gallery at the beginning of that. I know how your life and perspectives can change, so I held off and in going back to listen to our conversation it didn’t seem to fit anymore. So instead, below you will find a collection of social media statuses that Tae’lor posted after the passing of her mother. For Tae’lor social media served as a powerful medium in processing her journey, mindset and her understanding of faith.

I made it through
I didn’t lose
Experienced loss at a major cost
But I never lost faith in You.

LISTEN.

There is no greater disappointment than laying in bed and thinking that tomorrow is Friday but remembering that today is only Wednesday.

To be completely honest... I need a shirt that says ‘Amen.’

Another item crossed off my bucket list. Minnesota was good to me.

Based on a series of unfortunate events, conversations with other people, and the direction of the Spirit, I feel like I’m called to go on behalf of other people in prayer and some kind of support to young people who have lost something/someone

Me: How do you plan to prepare for your Chemistry final?
Student: Pray

Amen. Pray for that wisdom girl.

I hate it here

I just feel like 2020 will be a better year.

I will remain confident in this. I will see the goodness of the Lord.

How timely. I’m really missing you today. 😔😔😔😔

I’m trying to walk a mile, but it’s hard to do it in these shoes.

I started to clean a little yesterday and had a dream that my mom came into my room and said, “I’m so glad you finally got that stuff off the floor.” I guess I know what she does in her spare time up there.

Every time I come to visit you, I can’t believe this is my reality. I feel like I shouldn’t be standing before you like this, at my age… but here I am. I ran into one of your friends today, she said I seemed to be doing fine. I was really shocked. I told her that she must have caught me on a good day. You were so strong. I saw you stress 1000 times but I never saw you quit. I always thought you were untouchable. With you by my side I was untouchable. Now it’s my turn to say thanks 1,000 times. I’m strong because you were. Without you here I’m starting to see my own strength too, I just wish I didn’t have to realize it in this way.

I just feel like 2020 will be a better year.
