Life

Fate has a way of altering our lives, regardless if we approve of it or not. Every single little thing we do through out our daily lives shapes who we are. I believe there is a higher power among us that chooses what will happen to us in our life time.

On an ordinary summer day I got a divesting phone call that my uncle died in a tragic accident. It took almost two months to pick up the pieces. The death was sudden and unexpected. It took a toll on my family but it was also a learning experience, live life to the fullest and appreciates those around you because you never know when they could be gone. Right after things started to get normal again my great grandma passed away, the news was sad and boxing up a lifetime full of memories was even worse. After those two tragedies my family vowed to take time to spend with one another and pray for easier times.

Just when we thought we were heading in the right direction things took a turn for the very worst. My mom got diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. My world was crashing down right around me and there was nothing I could do about it. Little details didn’t seem to matter anymore. Life is too short to take for granite.

The news was shocking. School and cheer weren’t so important when your mom is fighting for her life at home. My main focus was now on my mom and how we were all going to get through this. Today my life has meaning, my existence is purposeful. Today I am here with a reason, like a survivor from an accident. Today I believe that life will never give me more then I can’t handle.

Through out this whole process I’m doing my best to have a positive out look. My mom always tells me, “There’s light at the end of the tunnel, the road will just be rough and long.” I will believe that life won’t give me more then I can’t handle. There is proof to this, even if I don’t see it now, everything will be okay.

In the end I believe this all happens for a reason. It’s going to be okay. I am going to get through this because I am a fighter and believe life will never give me more then I can handle.
