Accept what you can't change

Accept what you can't change 

Self reflection Monday

Loosing your money , favourite barbie doll (some of us still have those) or your new iPhone can be quite traumatic...but loosing a loved one can leave a deep scare. I lost my mom in a car accident at the age of 12. Now imagine,  growing up as a young girl experiencing things &changes that you weren't prepared for. .. scary I know. So before my mom's passing I wasn't that close with my dad, so after my mom's passing , I was kind of forced to develop this relationship with my dad which wasn't your everyday cup of tea...I'm young , just lost my mom & I was bitter. Not taking into consideration, that my dad lost his wife of 24 years...I mean being with someone that long & loosing them in that manner ain't something you'd wish on other people. So we had our first building block _ we both lost someone we loved.

Today,  I've grown closer to my dad & I know this sounds a bit funny but if my mother didn't pass I wouldn't have known that so much of my dad is in me. I'm like the female version of him! But I didn't use my past & circumstances as an excuse to not move forward. I blossomed rather , where God planted me. God breaks you down , to build you up again. Sounds stupid but it's so true. 

Word of the day " Change hurts a lot, but also helps you discover your determination & your inner strength to keep on keeping" 

That's The situation today...
