Journalling reads: How can it be possible to learn the most important lessons in life from the two people that haven’t experienced much of it? They taught me to feel extreme emotions, ranging from the gut wrenching ache of loss to the feeling of loving someone with all your heart and soul.They have showed me what it feels like to laugh until youcry and cry until the tears run dry. Because of them I have learnt that whenever I believe life can’t get any worse, it can and frequently does. But most importantly I have learnt that however bad life gets it will always get better. After everything I have been through with them I know now that there is nothing life can throw at me that can break me. I have the strength to endure whatever life dishes out and remain standing. Life’s not perfect and neither am I but that’s ok. You learn something from every experience, good and bad. It’s the lessons you learn that help you be the best person you can be. The most important lesson my babies have taught me is Life’s too short you have to seize every moment and make it count.
