Blessings

Day by day, step by step.....that is how to get through the worst possible days.  I did this and still do.  I learned it is not only the way to live through grief but through life.  There is no guarantee of tomorrow so take life one step at a time, enjoy each step.....good or bad.

I remember the dawning spring after the long, dark, sad and lonely winter.  Awakening from a bad dream, wondering how to keep going.  Weekends at my son, Jason's was the answer.  Every single weekend that first spring and summer.

My grandchildren were young enough not to know the sadness of our loss, they were salvation to me....Demi, Mathias, Mary and Stella were life, happiness, healing.  They gave me hope, they gave me innocence, they gave me love.....I knew there were reasons to go on.

Weekends were happy again.  Seeing these faces were the world to me.....my heart felt happy.

Demi, Mathias, Mary & Stella......

We can find what we need to travel the lonely road through grief.....we just have to look beyond our sorrow. I found my hope in these sweet faces and for that I am so very thankful.

I have been blessed, day by day and step by step.

Day 29 of 365.
Count your blessings.....K
