Swing

Today was about 75 degrees and perfect, and I was reminded of how much I love my life. Anything is possible and who knows where I'll be by next September. Hopefully still healthy and loved and incredibly hopeful.


After a very trying six months, I'm making great strides to get back into the swing of things. Things being life. I don't really know how to describe what it's like to be orphaned at the age of 28, but I can say that I do in fact feel like an orphan. It really is one of those things that affects everyone differently. I have found that in order to really move on, I have to fully allow grief to run it's course. Then a certain time comes when I can see a veil being lifted and everything is bright again. My Mom and Dad gave me so many gifts. I just have to continue focusing on what I learned from them, and not dwelling on what I may have missed.


This is one of my favorite pictures of my parents. In the middle is my sister. You would be able to see me as a twinkle in my fathers eye if he wasn't pretending to be asleep.
