Life doesn’t wait for anyone.
Some days, the ordinary holds more weight than we realise.
Yesterday, a friend learned her tumour, removed 18 months ago, has grown back bigger.
Life can shift in an instant, and control is never guaranteed.
Today, I am thinking about my daughter.
She cannot feed herself. She cannot leave the house without support. We live in a supported care model. And yet, the children are fed, loved, and nurtured.
Their laughter threads through the rooms. Their routines continue. Small acts of normalcy quietly hold the day together.
Love and hope matter, but they do not replace stability.
Patterns, consistency, and survival matter more.
The children notice the little things, a story read, a hand held, a joke shared.
Those are the moments that carry life forward.
This is the life we live today.
It is not simple.
It is not perfect.
But it is real.
And we get on with it.
Positivity and gratitude is the key. 🔑
