A long journey

it’s been a long journey but I’m still here. The struggles, the lows are so exhausting, some days I wonder if all the hard work is worth it and then I realize that I wouldn’t want to miss out on the future, my boys getting married, having grand children. It’s just hard moving to the next step of my life. Now that I am in my 50’s and spent my life raising my boys and now losing my Mom I feel like there isn’t much to look forward to. My husband always says that this is the best time of our lives because it’s our time. We can finally focus on ourselves. I hear that but I’m not quite believing it yet. The struggles seem much heavier and darker than what’s waiting up ahead. One day at a time, one out at a time and one minute at a time. Whichever one you need at that moment of that day. It’s OK💕
