Kolin, look how far we’ve grown
Sometimes, I just sit and reflect on our journey
I think about everything we have lost
Your brother
And your father
I think about how hard we have had to fight just to survive
Fight just to live and breathe
But I also reflect on everything we have gained
And how we have grown
My Kolin, after your father died, I was so lost
And confused
Traumatized too
But guess what? We made it!
We survived
And we found a way to carve out some peace for ourselves
Healing too
And joy
