We don’t

know why something’s just don’t turnout so well

but, I don’t want to give up on things I know will workout in the end.

Even when the beginning feels like a disaster waiting to happen and the outcome doesn’t even look like it will make it past noon.

I know I must keep my head up high if I don’t want the negative things to overwhelm me.

I know I didn’t see what was about to happen and even though it’s all took us by surprise.

We could have just pushed it away and moved on, hoping this moment would change us from being so close.

To being complete strangers all over again was not the deal we signed up for when we became friends so long ago.

We could wish for things to go back to what it was before but, through the days and weeks and months we have been apart, things have not been in the same.

And we have grown through our sadness and our hurt.

We have become more or less of what we needed to be

strong and proactive this year.
