As Fall quickly approaches we are reminded of this time last year. Although the weather keeps shifting, it is obvious that the night is falling faster everyday.
For the first time a couple of weeks ago I felt a cool breeze in the air. I looked up at the sky, it just looked different. Coming from a region where the change of season is not as apparent as some, for once I could identify change in the air - it broke my heart, yet I was fully aware of the beauty of nature.
The leaves on the trees are slowly starting to fall. Before you know it, little goblins, princesses and warriors will be knocking on our door for a trick-or-treat. Another sign that life keeps going on. Traditionally Halloween was one of my favorite "holidays", it still is, despite the void in my heart. I enjoy the spirit of the kids' excited about dressing up or being their favorite action hero, their innocence is such a beautiful thing.
With the change in season comes the marker that we are coming upon the anniversary of Lorenzo's death. His passing hurts more than anything I have ever felt in my life, everyday I am in total disbelief that he is physically gone, yet I know he is still here..
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can i sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can i handle the seasons of my life
About Me
- Forever Lorenzo's Mother
- It has been 14 years since my son passed away while at a home daycare. Life, as one can imagine, took an incredibly challenging turn, but here I am. I rarely identify myself or those closest to me on this page, as in the beginning it served as a sort of "therapy" just for me. I am grateful to have had a place to come to when I needed to "communicate" and make sense about what the world happened to my beautiful boy, my life. I am also grateful that I could look back in this diary of sorts and now see that along with an amazing support system, absolute faith and persistence to survive has brought me to where I am today. Much love and light to those on the road of recovery - any recovery. Believe in what may seem impossible...
