She chose her

Love is life, life is love.  Each day is met with a smile and a love for all God has given.  A quick thank you prayer is said and her feet move to the beat of the day.  As each moment passes throughout each day life is taking her that much closer to her choice of a new beginning.

Those who don't know her well say she's strong, she smiles and inside grins with delight knowing this is nothing, she's handled tougher challenges.  This is easy, this is fun but this is hard and this is real.   It was never a matter of if only a matter of when.  She never knew how difficult real would become; without the challenges she knows inside she would feel completely unfulfilled.  Challenges are easy; it's living inward that is hard.  

The real challenge was never in her plan, in choosing her she lost him. He fills each moment that passes.  He lives in each breath she takes.  Every new memory without him is remembered to share it once again, her thought only ever on when this journey is up, they can begin anew.  Every morning she awakens and amazed he is gone.  Her eyes no longer sparkle and, like his, her smile doesn't reach her eyes.  Life continues to happen all around her, there is no stopping because her heart aches.  She perseveres knowing she would expect nothing less from herself.  This is her challenge, her life and her fight from within.

Tomorrow is a gift, not a given.  She can only hope to live in the moment with a smile as this journey continues
