Dear Sweet Sari was created in honor of my mom, Sari. My mom passed away a year ago but left such a wonderful legacy for us in the way that she lived her life. She lived a simple life with one goal... to be available to her family and friends for any help they might need. She lived for nothing else. My mom was always there for everyone with an open heart that was as huge as the universe. Anyone who needed her, physically or mentally, had her at a moment's notice.

My world has changed drastically over the past year. Actually, not just mine, but all of us who were beneficiaries of her selfless support. It is not easy to find a person in life who you trust completely, and who you can let your guard down with and be yourself. My mom was that to so many people. Just the other day my dad went to visit her oncologist and the doctor literally cried and said that he missed my mom because she was his inspiration to go to work each and every day. She always had a smile on her face, up until her last moments with us. She touched everyone who knew her. Now we hope she can touch every one of you.

This blog is our way of helping other people, and we know it is what she would have wanted. If you're feeling sad, lonely, depressed, angry, or even (hopefully happy), visit Dear Sweet Sari and express your feelings. If you want to give a shout out to someone that you loved, who has passed away, this is the place to do that. Sometimes knowing that someone is there to read and care about how you feel makes all the difference.

And never doubt that Sweet Sari isn't there for you, too!
