You are beautiful. You are appreciated. You deserve it all. Thank you for everything, Mama. I love you forever and always.

Maybe one day someone will notice my effort and be nothing more than appreciative and grateful simply knowing I did all that I can. I always feel like I have to fight for others I am so passionate about and love… I wish someone would fight for me to the end… I guess it is now time I stand up and fight for myself. It’s time for me to grow up and be independent. 

Today was bittersweet. It amazes me how two people can be in the same place at the same time. Makes me wonder how often we cross paths with certain people who are close to us without ever realizing it.

“One day at a time—this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”
