October is full of ups and downs - decades of memories, celebrations of life and death, lessons, hardship and growth.
These highlighted moments helped bring so much joy into my life, and create memories that I will surely hold onto for a lifetime ahead.
My dad and uncle came to visit and celebrate the memory of my mom, who hasn’t been with us now for 20 years, two decades. In moments, it still doesn’t feel real that it’s been so long. Other days, I’m upset knowing memories of her are fading without the opportunity for new ones to be created. So for that, I’m grateful to create new memories, with the people I love who have also known the power of loving her.
This month I celebrated my birthday as much as I possibly could. Each celebration helped boost my moral more than I could even begin to explain, as the world feels heavy in the bigger picture of things, and with everything else I’m currently trying to sort out.
When moments have felt heavy, I think about these moments to bring me back to the moment being lived, understanding that it either goes well, or it passes.
Thanks for being a part of my life. I love you all so much.
