Day 1 of the positive challenge.. Part 1..As I was thinking of what to write, I could not deny the fact that losing a love one, although a very painful and challenging experienced to go through, can also but lead to positive changes in life..I lost my husband, best friend and long time partner to heart attack years ago. It was only a matter of hours, when God decided to take him,and the only warning was extreme pain in his breast.While being revived by the Doctors, he looked at me, with curled tongue and was able to whisper the last words he wanted me to hear. I Love You..Losing a love one, makes you become a Zombie of a sort, for the next coming days, I was numbed, hazed and asleep most of the times, the side effect of some numbing and sleeping pills.. Part 2.. When all has left, so did my only 2 kids, who lives abroad with their families.And one day, I decided to pick up the pieces of what was left of me and my sanity. I decided to pursue and run the business left by my husband, learned to changed busted bulbs and run errands my husband used to do. When very painful days and nights would come, I prayed, and prayed and prayed.. Part 3..It has been years of challenges, long hours of hard work,emotionally and physically, but with the help of my family, and some good and sincere friends, I am moving on. In time, I decided to start my one love affair I left when I was in High School, my love for Poetry. I wrote and wrote, composed and edited, poems, short stories and anything I can think of. Accepted or not, belittled or praised by the readers, I did not care, all I know is that the long hours I used to be lonely turned into such an inspiration, just by writing. I am still hurting at times, but looking at my 4 volumes of published book of anthology, The Permanent Travelers, where my poems are written, makes me sigh a beautiful and contented sigh. Yes most of my poems are dedicated to him and I am in my journey in life positively and believing that in this hurried and changing times, the best is still to come, for all of us, alone or otherwise.. But before I end my short story, this accomplishment is nothing compared to the love and support my children is giving me, for I am complete because of them..
