"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars." -Kahlil Gibran
I am grateful that I survived the day yesterday. It is always hard when those days come on... her birthday, Mother's Day, the anniversary of her passing... but I have to be strong. I can cry, but then I dry my tears and think that my angel in heaven is probably looking at me and asking me not to cry.
So I was able to go on after a rather rocky start in the beginning. There was a time when I thought I was going to lose it. I started talking about her to someone, and the tears started flowing. But then again, I am a survivor. Of many things. Of a lifetime of hardships. But here I am today, and it's a new day and I get to go on again. And for all that, I am grateful. Yes, I AM!
