The past few months have been a whirlwind of events and tragedies for myself and my family. My grandmother had a severe stroke in May and now leaves her speechless.... literally and can no longer move her right side. Ever since this tragic event, we have become more and more aware of people and the signs of strokes that surround us everyday. It has definitely made me realize that life can change in an instant so you have to love the life you live and make sure that everyone around you knows how precious they are to you.
Shortly after my grandmother started her recovery process, my grandfather came down with pneumonia. He has struggled everyday since her accident and still struggles to keep his spirits up and find a reason and purpose to stay in this world. It is a constant battle with him to understand the difference between acceptance and selfishness.
There is not a day that goes by that I dont hope and pray that my life starts to return to normal and when my family can smile once again.
