The Day My Heart Should Be Rejoicing
Too much, too late
Life has a funny way of taking an unexpected right turn, where you’re heading in one direction day after day, then suddenly something flips and within seconds you’re heading in a totally different direction. One unimagined!
This happened to me today and I’m still speechless — unable to comprehend it all yet.
How is it possible?
Something I’ve dreamed about for so long, had given up on years ago, then out of the blue, wham — here’s your dream come true. Enjoy!
How unpredictable life really is, sometimes in such a wonderful way, sometimes in a devastating way.

It all started thirty five years ago, when I was just a young girl. Typical story — girl meets boy, falls in love — but in this instance the love wasn’t returned.
No, I watched from afar as he met his great love, wooed her and made plans for their forever.
It was heart crushing, let me tell you.
I watched from the sidelines for about ten years, until it got too tough, and I slowly disappeared from his life. I had to protect my bruised, broken, raw bloody heart.
