The End (ch. 43)

After my uncle's death I went through a lot of ups and downs. My aunt and uncle became my mom and dad. They worked with me through my adolescence, and have been my forever family. I am everything I am today because they love me. I didn’t include the dark periods I’ve had in my adult life, it's part of my story, but not the most important part. The most important part is that I survived, and I’ll fight to live another day, everyday.  This resilience is my happy ending. The Universe has something good in store for me.  I am like the Phoenix, who emerged from the ashes. There may be more fires in my future, but I know I'll survive those too.
