Dear Tiny Butterfly,

I can’t say I have similar experience with you. It must’ve been very difficult for you to witness your mother’s suffering – and your own.

Allow me to just share one thing: this too will pass. Eventually, this situation will get resolved because change is the only thing that’s permanent in life. When my Dad passed away, I was devastated. The first few months were excruciating, the hole he’d left seemed to be beyond repair. But soon enough, I caught myself noting the blue sky, the blooming flowers. I caught myself smiling and laughing whenever my friends did something stupid. Before I knew it, I had moved on. Before I knew it, I no longer felt so sad about my Dad’s death. Time just keeps flowing, and we are all swept along with it.

So may you find strength and courage to face this difficult times. You are brave, you are strong, and I believe that whatever happens, you will always be alright.

Sending much love to you, Tiny Butterfly.
