Back To Life

The loss of a loved one, especially one that is younger than you by less than two years, can invoke multiple emotions and unpredictable reactions. It is simply not the natural order of life. We expect the older to go first not the younger.

Since losing my younger sister to breast cancer a little over a year ago, I must admit that my trajectory, purpose and perspectives on life have been altered. Withdrawing into my shell gave me a well needed break from public or social life and certainly allowed me to start seeing things and people with more clarity. It has also renewed my visions and missions in life in a way that I no longer need to prematurely proclaim; but simply execute and let the results do the talking. It has also put a halt to me splintering myself into multiple pieces to please everyone but myself and conversely has finally made me start placing myself closer to the front of the line to receive the fruits of my own labor.
