As brief as I can manage.

 

I remember when I was a little girl feeling like life stretched before me like a never ending book. There was no "the end" when I thought about life, my future or the future of others I loved. As I grew up, however, that notion of a never ending life vanished. Sometimes I wish I could have the protection the naivety of a child offers one again...
Loosing a loved one is a very hard experience. Probably one of the hardest we, as humans, have to face at some stage in our lives.

I've been struggling to gain the courage and strength to write this post. I do not like to talk about my personal life, I do not like to share things that I am struggling with or going through. This blog is supposed to be my little sanctuary, my "get-away" place. Somewhere I can share my creative side, a place I like inspires others. A happy place. We all have lives, we all face problems and issues on a daily basis. We all go through the loss of a loved one at some stage. So it's been hard, because I don't want to ignore it just because it is too hard to write about and at the same time,I don't want to bring everyone down reading this. Balance...sigh...

So let me be brief as brief is about all I can manage.

As some of you know my oldest brother passed away 4 years ago. Sadly, my other brother (and my last) passed away recently. I do not want to go into detail of how it happened as I feel it is too personal but I did want you to know why I have been so quiet.

I am doing a lot better thanks to the support of loved ones.

I want to get back to sharing things on my blog and I plan to do that soon. I just needed to do this first.
