It’s been forever since I last logged on to this account. Sometimes it just feels good to write when you’re dealing with hardships. It’s been 24 hours since I experienced true heart break. Sometimes I tell myself that “it can’t get worse from here” and that I just need to pick myself up when I’m down. But i was wrong. It can always get worse. Today I woke up to a phone call from my mom telling me her great aunts grandson died at 10-years-old. He woke up yesterday telling his mom “mom, I don’t think I am going to survive today”.  Here I am waking up every morning crying over a broken heart when there’s a Sammy out there or a relative out there or a friend out there that won’t even wake up. Today is a day I appreciate what I have in my life, who I am, and how blessed i feel. Life is so short and when we are given the strength we need to get through every day we can’t take it for granted. 

Thinking of you Sammy, and your beautiful family.
