As darkness descends, a
darkness we could never have predicted, we face our biggest fight yet. To even
fathom the fight ahead is exhausting, to feel that fighting may be in vain, but
to know nothing other than fight is what may see us through this journey.
How do I step into this battle with so little energy? How do I fight when I feel like my hope has been shattered, dreams taken away, left floundering like a fish out of water. I can only draw on the strengths I have used all of my life and to rally the troops around me as I face this next battle - 'united we stand' is perhaps what I draw strength from; to know that I am not alone, whatever the outcome.
Some days I feel like giving up, sometimes it all seems too hard to even face but when determination greets me at every turn, it seems I cannot give up or give in anyway. I look upon a face that loves me through all the turmoil, friends who keep turning up at my door, a puppy that makes me laugh until my sides split and although I really don't know how to face this next mountain, I know I am not alone as I put one foot in front of the other and continue on....

Thank you Carolyn..I honestly think that the only reason I can stand tall and stay strong is because I have so many people standing in my corner...thank you for standing along side me in this battle xoxo
