To all parents living with children and young teenagers with life threatening chronic illnesses/disabilities π
I know that sometimes, when the world weighs heavily on your shoulders, you feel utterly alone and lost.π
I realize that there are many days you wonder if anything you do matters.π
Whatever youβve been feeling, whatever youβve been thinking, however youβve been hurting..
Iβm here to tell you that youβre not alone.π
There are so many of us walking the same path, with the same struggles, asking the same questions.π€
And sometimes, just knowing someone is there can be the spark you need to get back up again.πͺ
I know that you try, you fight and you love with such an amazing heart and you wonder why you donβt get the same in return.
You will- perhaps not immediately, but the love you put out in the world always comes back to you π
The world needs amazing people like you..youβre a light when you donβt even realize it.π
Your life may not feel great and you question why you even try, but youβve been down before..and you found a way then-
You can find a way now.π
Maybe you feel like your dreams have been crushed and youβve stopped believing in yourself, and I get that...
Iβve been right where you are, before.
Telling myself that I didnβt have anyone and that no one cared, feeling sorry for myself because nothing ever seemed to work out-
Life, love, happiness..I always ended up back at the same place, disconsolate and distraught.
Iβm here to tell you that youβve got a choice.
You can stay in the darkness, learn to love rock bottom or you can choose to fight back.πͺ
Take back your life, claw out of the pits and pull yourself out of the misery.
If you canβt believe in and love yourself first, how can you expect anyone else to?
We both know you can do this- you can do anything you set your mind to.π
No, I wonβt tell you it will be easy, fast or painless, because chance are, it will be none of those things..
But it will be worth everything.
Maybe youβll tell me you canβt, that you werenβt meant to rise from the ashes or youβre too tired and old.
Stop and remember who you used to be and the dreams you had.
Theyβre right where you left them, just waiting to be found again..
Just like you.π
Iβm telling you that youβre not alone, that youβre worth it and you can do this.π
If you donβt believe, take some of my belief in you..I have enough for both of us.π
You can never write a new beginning, but you can always turn the page and begin to write new chapters.
Hereβs the pen.
Itβs time to rewrite who you are , where youβre going and what you can do.
I believe in you.π
Weβre always here for you , chronic illnesses/ disabilities is a whole new path set out for you ,
Your not alone π
