One minute I was lying on the sofa under a duvet watching Jane Eyre, trying to persuade my fiancé to make me a cup of tea whilst stuffing my face with M&M’s, and my biggest worry was what to have for lunch the next day. Then WHAM. My world was turned upside down.
Sometimes life deals you bad card. Some unexpected and horrible news that makes you question everything that has ever gone before. Putting a brave face on is easy, just tune into to your inner actor and if you pretend for long enough you really will start to believe everything is fine. The challenge isn’t coping. The challenge is finding the silver lining and decoding the lesson you are meant to learn.
They say no good deed goes unpunished, and when bad thing happen to good people it can certainly feel that way. But if you focus on this then it is easy to wallow in self pity or spend so long cursing your bad luck that you forget to create your own good luck.
Life is what you make it, and sometimes the bad things are a way of reminding you to make the most of every second. Sure you might be looking forward to that big holiday next year, but don’t wish away the time leading up to it because you might miss out on something even better.
I won't go on but I'll finish by saying that my mum is the strongest woman I have ever met and I hope I can do her proud by being just as strong myself. <3
You are both amazing and im very proud to be in both of your lives. Xxx
