Strong 

It is so difficult to stay strong every day or when you have to face some sorrows or when you lose someone that meant everything to you. This morning I met my friends who lost their mother and wife last week...I was expecting everything - but no smiles. But they did manage to smile...I can just imagine what it really costs them now. Their eyes are full of unspoken pain but they are determined to go on. They have to. No other way out.  

I now see how weak I am. And how lucky I am to have my family with me. How fortunate I am to have strong people around me, such a weak person.

I'm grateful for my friends who try to keep on smiling. I'm so happy to see my dear ones around. I'm under the weather today. Let's say there were better days in my life. But it still makes me feel happy to feel myself cared for when I am ill! :)
