When I am stressed out from life and I just need some time to get-a-way! When I am not feeling so blessed by all the things that I have to deal with from day to day.
When I was young I found comfort getting a huge hug from my mom. I smiled every time I found myself within the warmth of the hot sun.
As I grew I found happiness and strength in listening to music and hearing the songs that were sung. As I got older and older, that strength and comfort I now knew... was from embracing my culture and who I am... I feel in my heart within the beats of listening to the big drum.
Today you can find me listening to the wind blowing through the trees. Laying in the tall grass with my eyes closed as I dream of being on an island overseas.
But as the world turns and things are not quite the same. I find myself on a journey of some great mystery. With everything in my life constantly questioning me.
My comfort now as things seemed to have been turned upside down, and my entire life changed with nothing left but uncertainty. The one thing that I can always find comfort in... is when I get to spend time making long lasting memories with those I love... who I can call my family!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
