It'll only make us stronger

It's such a great day out, sunny with a wonderful breeze. And today was the first day I wanted to welcome that brightness back into my life. The past month has been really tough on my best friends and I. It still is, and I know that we all need some time to heal.
Having to process the loss of loved ones in such traumatic ways has changed us, inside and out. I never knew that such unfortunate events could come to us like so, in a chain reaction- moments of shock, disbelief, which led to denial. But now we know anything can happen at any given moment. I've been grateful for what has been given to me, but now I can say it's truly heartfelt and it's not something I just know in my head.
