Our hearts and sympathy go out to Lana Condor and her family. Lana took to Instagram to honor her Mom, Mary Condor, who recently passed away. Our hearts break for Lana, as the post sent us into tears.
We unfortunately know what it is like to loose a parent and it’s a pain we would wish upon no one. Lana’s post started, “My beautiful beautiful mama, I’m laying here thinking about everything I want to say to you, how to put into words the sheer devastation of losing you and how it has carved me out and left me lost.”
She continued, “I keep thinking you just went out to run a quick errand, maybe you’re grabbing that smoked salmon dip we both love and that you’ll be right back, or that you just missed my call because you didn’t have your phone on you because you preferred to be present in the moment and look up instead of down.”
“I keep thinking that you’ll call me right back. I keep thinking that I still have you here. I want, I need, you to know that every good thing I am, is because of you. You taught me how to love the world and others as if there was no such thing as hate. You taught me to always trust my gut and run fiercely with my instincts. You taught me empathy, in a world that needs much more of it,” she added and then continued, “You showed me what unconditional kindness and compassion is, and that both should always be our first choice. That seeing the world thru humor filled lenses is not only one of our best survival techniques, but also a brave choice, that can improve our daily lives exponentially. You infused our world with so much joy and warmth and color that I fear the sunrises will always now feel somewhat muted because you aren’t here to watch them with me, like we always loved to do. It’s only been a few days since I lost you, but I miss you like you’ve been gone for way longer and also like you just left. I hope you are running in the wind, and have all the answers to your everlasting curiosity. I miss you with my whole soul.”
She then concluded, “I used to say ‘I love you more than you could possibly ever know,’ I hope now, wherever you are, that you know. You found me first, and I pray with everything that I am, that you’ll find me again. I love you endlessly. Love, Lanzie. 🕊️”
We are so sorry for your loss Lana. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time.
