If You Can't Walk ... Crawl

Tweet

This morning while sitting here with my hot cup of coffee ... with lots of cream ... I enjoyed my time at the computer. I was reading something on the Facebook website: The Law of Attraction ... that struck me ... how true the words really are! I read it several times ... it couldn't have been described ... said any better. Every word is exactly what I feel is true. Here are the words I read on The Law of Attraction ... @lawofattractiontips ... quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. : 'If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.' This is what I had to do when I began coping with the worst thing in my life ... losing my only child. I made it ... I am here now. I meant to come back ... one way or other. At first, it didn't matter ... over many months, several years ... it did begin to matter. I wanted to live life again. I believe ... one has to want to make it ... want to live. At first, I didn't know or think about if I were dead or alive ... I couldn't because ... I had gone inside me. Skip never gave up on me ... our Pups stayed near me ... they were my little patches of light in the darkness I lived in. I began using the patches of light as my stepping stones to coming back ... to life. I crawled out of the ocean of darkness I lived in. Since ... I've been going forward. I look back only to write about how it really feels ... I look back to see my son's smile, hear his voice. I don't dwell in the past ... I move forward. When grief gets me down ... I force myself to keep moving forward. I want to live until I also ... die. Note by this Author: These words really caught my attention when I read them. They are true ... in my case.
