Unseen Forces, Unyielding Strength

Life took a heartbreaking twist at 6:38 pm on April 1st.

Here’s a glimpse of the last time mom and dad saw each other—a cherished moment that reminds me of the love they shared and the support they both brought into my life.

Sometimes life’s events leave us pondering, searching for meaning in unexpected places. As I faced a challenging race recently, I couldn’t help but wonder if my mom’s spirit wasn’t there to help me out of a tough spot. All my abilities taken away, I had to struggle to the end and finish. Her power of walk and health was removed, but she kept fighting. Her recent passing has made me realize that perhaps I took her support and presence for granted. Now, I find myself reconnecting with memories and rediscovering strength since some of the burden of my self-pity and self-punishment has been lifted. I am grateful that her pain is gone every day now, and I know she’ll forever be with me, guiding me through life’s twists and turns. It’s time for me to buck up and stop feeling sorry for myself.
