Cheerio

June has been a month of milestones. Once all the celebrating was done, June, over the last two weeks has also then proceeded to be a month of loss.

Most notably my friend who is only slightly older than me, passed away at the ever tender age of 33 last week, leaving behind his dear wife and 4 children. RIP Gareth. I still can't believe it.

Rest in Peace Mrs Rawhani

Today I saw that another friend unfortunately lost her mom today. I am so sorry for her and her family's loss.

I had my own personal losses, which pale in comparison to death, but pain is not comparable. My heart is infinitely, inexplicably sore none the same and the tears are never really far from the surface.

One hopes the heart will heal, but there's that terrifying thing called time that is in control of it all.

As we make our way into the second half of the year, let us count our blessings. Let us be thankful for those we have known and had the privilege of loving or even just their company. Of knowing that it will get easier. We forgive, but forgetting is the real struggle. Most of all, we need to learn how to forgive ourselves.

Take care of yourselves you beautiful little bubbles.
