One of my dearest friends posted this quote "She didn't always follow the recipe..." along this beautiful beach in Australia. This made me miss my late sister-in-law who died from breast cancer while carrying her 6 months baby boy. She didn't take any treatment so her son will have a chance to live, but grievously their heartbeat stopped altogether.

Her tough times in the hospital
This letter is from her daughter who never left her side, full of HOPE, love and bravery until the last breath of her mom. It hangs on the wall in her room, and some days the light catches it just so and she knows her mother is saying hello.
What she said about it, when the light hit it, today struck a deep chord in me. "Such a simple string of metaphor to remember there is never one way, there is only your way."
That's the kind of thing that makes my soul cry out in a way it only does when it comes face to face with deeply universal truths. The kind that encourage human tenderness. Yes. There is only your way. You will learn the hard way. You will make mistakes. You will have great love. You will experience tragic loss. People will give you advice and it will, sometimes, be taken but it will not save you from the good or the bad. You will live in your own way and you don't need to apologize for ANY of it. There is only your way. There is only your heart beating in your chest. Serve it first. Do so with kindness and consideration for the world around you, obviously. Own your own way. Grip it in your first and hold it tight. Be true.
Thank you Mommy Keith!
