The Light

“There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.” - Mother Teresa 

This rings so true for me for the last little while. Since my dad's passing, I have been the recipient of so many acts of kindness. I can't begin to say thank you enough for all that has been done on behalf of myself and my family. Moving on is so hard, but little by little we are putting one foot in front of the other. I am learning that there really is no such thing as normal. There is just right now, and I want to do my best every day to make the most of every right now that happens.
