Life, hope, lifestyle and everything beautiful
Whoever told us that life would someday be perfect and easy? That we would find happiness and stay there? That there is a special someone for every one of us?

I see the pool straight ahead through the glass and it reminds me of my grandmother. She so loved to swim, float and chat with friends or mostly acquaintances. As I am reminded of this, my thoughts go to how she was and is so strong. She says she cannot cry, as I couldn’t for […]
