Keeping it simple for you

Bitterness may wash through the soul like rain, but life, at its core, longs to taste the sweet again. Your presence, no matter,  has been a lantern on my weary path. In the hours when shadows ruled, you stood like a shoreline, steady enough to gather me back from the storm. This voyage tests every bone, every breathe, yet the shedding of fear is its own quiet miracle. You opened the chambers where my heart: could break, could breathe, could begin. And so the moment arrives: a threshold, a reckoning - now or never! The breakthrough was not an escape, but an awakening. Grace and understanding wrapped around me like a veil of protection. I know there is more to tend within, but courage has rooted itself in me, and I am ready to walk forward. For it is “the space”, you offered at the right time, held in the right silence,  where I return to myself, and shape the beginning of my being! 

I don’t know if words can fully express the whirlwind of emotions I’ve been carrying, but I’ll do my earnest best to try.... As a wife, I still find myself wondering whether I did enough, whether there was something more I could have done. In my heart, I know we faced our battles side by side, believing we would make it through together. I never imagined the storm that would follow, or how unprepared I would feel for its cruelty. Life has its bitterness, I always knew that, but I never expected to taste it so early, nor so deeply. As a mother, I know I have to keep standing and fighting, not for recognition, but for the two young souls who look to me even for the smallest bit of strength. They try to hide their emotions so I won’t crumble, not realizing that their honesty, their willingness to share what they feel, is what actually keeps me going. No mother ever imagines her children facing such an immense, irreversible loss at such a tender age. Yet here they are, learning life’s hard...
