Serenity’s Soul
February 17, 2010
Dear Serenity’s Soul,
As the morning light began to shine upon my face, I felt a sense of release. Sometimes when you think back on your life, you just have to wonder about how far you’ve actually come. Not too long ago, I was a lonely soul that didn’t really have any direction whatsoever. Now, I have a different view of life and how quickly things can change. No, no it’s not anywhere near perfect, but I am not so lonely anymore. My short journey towards Serenity, towards the most delicate and peaceful part of your soul, has been a journey that has allowed me to meet people I never would have known of otherwise. You know, you can’t just look at one part of your life and say that’s the way it will be forever. There was a time in my life that I didn’t know I would be at this point, and that’s because I don’t know my tomorrows. None of us know our tomorrows. All that we know for sure is the second we are currently living, and the next one is just one of life’s mysteries. So the deal is, tomorrow my mother and I are set to go with Landon to visit my father. Because tomorrows are never guaranteed, that’s just the plan for the moment, but I am hoping that everything goes well. I want to see my father. It doesn’t matter what condition he may be in. It doesn’t matter as long as I can just have the opportunity to look him in his eyes and whisper, “Daddy, Daddy I love you.” I will not expect a lot. The thing about expecting a lot is allowing yourself to wish and dream things that will only leave you heartbroken. No, I’ll just make the most out of whatever should happen. Today has been a day of taking a deep breath and just being thankful to have made it this far, and tomorrow…if it is granted, will be a day of new beginnings. Tomorrow begins the journey to reaching my father.
Goodnight,
Monica
