Make you feel my love
Four years this autumn and life did set itself into a stready pace of making a new one for myself after I faced my peak in the Cancer moutain range. A challenge like no other, but gracing me with a breathtaking view once I made it to the top.
To begin to exemplify what it has taught me is inconceivable, but strength, gratitude and humility goes some way towards summing it up. As the quote goes, strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought were impossible. I have learned that I am much more than my scars. I am here and now and I am alive.
How could you ever pay back that gratitude and how could you use that strength and humility to make this a better place?  When an old friend was taken ill, one such moment befell and as it did, I knew this was one of those rare moments in life where you selflessly have the opportunity to make a profound difference for someone else.
To be a hand that holds without fear and gives strength in the eye of the storm to a fellow humanbeing, facing his demons in life changing circumstances, is something I treasure and  I am humbled to be able to do so.
I can only hope that I can inspire someone to dare to take that step. To reach out to someone in need, not expecting anything in return.
My father was a tremendously funny man and one of his jokes which I know I have written about before and probably held a certain seriousness attached to it, was that he wanted “Me today, You tomorrow” etched on his tombstone. If you just dig a little deeper into that statement it holds some truth. The simple fact of life. It happens to anyone. No one knows what tomorrow brings but make today special.
Being strong and moving forward doesn’t mean avoiding pain, but being able to look towards to a new day in spite of the rain storms. That is what I am doing with a hope that I can make you feel my love.
