In the end

When you’ve been through so much pain, you reach a point when you just want to stop hurting.

And start living again.

When that moment comes, you feel free to start over.

You become wiser.

Stronger.

You learn to forgive others.

More than that, you learn to forgive yourself.

In the end you realize, life is much too precious…

to waste

…dwelling in the past,

…nurturing pain,

…keeping grudges,

…and harboring anger.

Instead you make that choice to spend your days…

…valuing the present moment

…striving for healing

…letting go

…and loving.

In the end, you know that no matter what other people may say or think…

what matters is you know your self-worth.

In the end, you discover who your real friends are.

The ones who truly know, understand, accept and love you for all that you are.

In the end, you re-learn to value your family.

The ones who truly love you… unconditionally.

In the end, you appreciate once again the gift of endless laughter, warm hugs and sloppy kisses that only your little ones can give.

The ones whom you can sacrifice for just so they can live.

In the end, you feel the true meaning of love…

and you know the one whom you give it to.

The one who gives his heart and soul to you.

When life gives you a second chance to find your way…

you take a step toward that path and brush all your fears away.

In the end, you begin to understand that life may not be perfect…

but it could be wonderful and so much more…

because now you know… what and who you are living for.
