I have lived through a great deal of sadness, shock and grief and I managed to survive each time. My children did too. We all learned to move on and overcome adversity.
I even learned to dream a bit. Every single week I dream I’m going to win the lottery. I dream that cyclamens will bloom again in my lawn the way they did so mysteriously last year. I dreamed that my eight-year-old-car would pass the licensing test again this year – and it did!
More than anything else, I dream that my family will remain healthy. I also dream of a world without illness and senseless violence. I believe that circumstances will change for the better in the future.
Nobody can live without hope. In fact, the four letter word I wrote about is H O P E.
