Soundtrack To My Life (thus far)
I am merely 24 years old, yet I have lived such an extensive life already. A lot of times I am told that my life is just beginning. Some don't realize that this "beginning" came with an ending. My mother suffered a detrimental stroke when I was 12 years old. My rock. My shield. My best friend. These are all the ways in which I categorize my mom, and how I see her in my life. She got really sick at a time when I really needed her - I was right on the cusp of being a teen and growing into a new phase of life. Nevertheless, God had other plans. No one could understand my pain and my confused outlook on life. The feeling of loneliness swept through my entire being. It is still a process to cope with taking care of a disabled parent, but I'm thankful she's alive - and that I'm still alive as well.
