Challenge 30: Grace


Of everything in the world what would you like to be doing right now? Where would you like to be the most? Who would you prefer to be with at this moment?

There are things that are out of our control, and things that we just cannot undo, because we are only human. When things like this happen, all we can do, or are expected to do is be strong. It is hard to go through hard moments in life, but I have been lucky enough to have people around me who always support me with their love, and most of all I have God.

What I am aching to be doing right now is to be home. I want to be home because I want my sister to know that I am there for her. When death takes someone you love, the memories you have with that person become treasures. I know that I can make her feel better, comfort her, and show that she is loved. But, there is so little I can do from where I am now.

“Fix You” by Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

There are times when music speaks louder than words. There is no point in holding back our tears, as it is only natural. Tears are a way of showing our love for someone. Tears are hard to hold back, and should not be held back. The lyrics are pretty much what I intend to do. I have been down the same path she is walking on right now. I just want to let her know that she will not be walking alone.
