Dear April…

This month you brought happiness and sadness to my life, chaos and gratitude. This best describes how I feel: “Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.” ― L.R. Knost

I lost my brother-in-law five months ago and now my sweet mother-in-law has passed away. I can’t believe how sad and empty I feel inside. It feels like my heart is torn in many pieces. My mother-in-law was always sweet and kind to me. She was the heart of the family and very kindhearted woman.  She made me laugh and also gave me courage and strength when I needed. I will forever miss her.

I was supposed to be somewhere this day

but ended up here

that one day

Don’t know why

maybe my soul needed the water

to let go of the sorrow and pain

healing

sun

and blue sky…

It’s not the ocean but this will do just fine.

G R A T I T U D E 

Always and forever!
