National Bird Day... And Other Things

  It's National Bird Day today. 

  Here's a drawing I did to celebrate it:

  It was my maternal grandmother's death anniversary about a week ago... Christmas happened before it and there was a lot of festive cheer around me so I didn't really have the time to sit down and think about the significance of it.

  It's been two years already.

  While it's true that things will get better as time goes by, you'll never really fully get over the death of a loved one. You'll find ways to cope, to continue living your life. But there are some wounds that time won't heal completely... And that's okay. It's okay to feel grief even years after a loved one's death. It's okay to miss them. It's okay to be. 

  I'm grateful for how many changes have happened in 2014. 

  I'm grateful for all the love and support I get from my family and friends. 

  I'm grateful for my health, for being financially stable, and for having a job I enjoy.

  2014 was an emotional roller coaster ride, but it was a good year for me. I hope 2015 brings about even more fun and laughter, tears, joy, love, and adventures.
