Hope ... Part of my healing process
I've mentioned how hope and butterflies are a connection I have with my mother, who passed nearly two years ago. I've been planning a tattoo of some sort with those inspirations for some time, unsure of what and where exactly it should be.
Then three weeks ago I happened across an image with hope as the acronym for Hang on Pain Ends in relation to sobriety and I decided to decide and knew in my heart what was right.
And this is the result though still healing. One simple word, four letters, in my mother's handwriting. On the inside of my wrist where I can see it whenever I want or need, and I can hold it to my heart when I think of my mother... Or kiss it as I say hi to my mom.
And the really cool thing is that I get jitters and butterflies in my stomach as I write this ... Butterflies... No longer does that feeling give me anxiety but rather smile as it reminds me of mom and her strength.
Because hope wins.
