Husband ,

The greatest responsibility you will ever have is the responsibility of being a father.

Your child will always look to you to show them how to smile, how to laugh and play. Most importantly of all, how to get back up when they fall.

The world won’t always lend a hand, but perhaps this is the reason why god gave us two.

Teach them how to ride a bike, teach them how to camp. Teach them all the lessons you’ve learned along the way, but most importantly, teach them that youll always be here.

~Nel

Left Behind

You held his hand. You helped him find his laughter . you walked with him through his childhood memories. You listen to his dreams and comforted him through his fears. You gave him new memories, new stories and in doing so he found his happiness. A happiness that was so grand, it attracted another . And so for his happiness you let him go and watched from a far as he walked onwards into the distance with her by his side. You cried , we all do. But he’s too far away to see or hear you. And through your tears you see another, his cry was louder than yours. And so, you dried your tears and smiled at him. And with this, you held his hand and you helped him find his laughter. And so it begins again.

Today in the world of #covid19, things are so surreal. It’s like I’m still trying to grasp the concept that the entire world is at a standstill .. and in my head , all I can think is ...did the world really stop? Really?! But then I think, it may have just stopped for us but it ended for so many. & that , that is the worst feeling of all .

[nelstory]

The silence of the world is deafening .

I just realized my biggest fear... I don’t want to die from covid_19 and become just another number in a statistic.

We will all start to look at these numbers differently...from the moment you know someone personally who’ve been tested positive and passed on due to #covıd_19 All of a sudden you will see their face 800,000 times and feel the pain of 800,000 families who are left standing alone together with you .

It feels like today was a day filled with silence. Silence for all of the 245,033 people fighting to survive #covid_19 , silence for the 10,041 souls that passed on . And silence for what’s yet to come. A silence that is so loud , it is heard around the World...A silence that is screaming out in fear, uncertainty & helplessness .

For all who walk this earth , we are in this together.

How do we know we found what’s missing if we don’t know it’s lost to begin with?

How is it that we are surrounded by millions and still be so alone?

This is my take on it all...

Maybe In life , we were each sent with a purpose . Perhaps mine was to show you how to love and be loved so when you do find love you’ll be able to recognize it. Maybe I am never meant to stay and maybe you were always meant to go.

1x2×3×4? It’s the only conclusion I can come up with so far.

Ever feel like you are a balloon trying to make it through a world filled with pins and needles ? Just hoping to make it through without popping ?

These scars are my own

Written On my body and soul

Every cut, bruise and burn

These scars are mine to hold

With each injury came a story

With every wound , there is a memory

For every burn there is a tale

And these are all mine that has yet to be told

So please don’t judge and don’t be fooled

For you do not know what I’ve endured.

They are but little glimpses into the life that I’ve lead,

The trail I’ve tread and proof of what has yet to be said

So yes, These scars are my own

I knew love once

I knew love once that lasted only a moment but that moment will last a lifetime. It was a love that made years of what I thought was loving and being loved fade... the way the stars fades at dawn. It was an innocent kind of love. One that only required a touch our hands to lit up the universe. One that was filled with morning runs, chest games and drawings.Theme parks,a luck of chance and one single unforgettable dance. One that was filled with late night talks of our dreams and hopes that ended with a single red rose. A love that would have lead to a world where we would be old and grey on a porch over looking our grand kids dancing the way we once did. It was A love that started under a lantern filled night sky but ended in the stillest, darkest and most scilenced of nights. But it was A love, a true kind of love that was so intense, we both knew it would be deviation if it were to ever end. And so it never really truly began. It was a kind of love that I knew once that only lasted a moment . But it’s this moment that will last a life time.

What if

What if I said yes?

What if I said yes when you sang to me about the longingness you felt knowing I wasn’t yours and begging to be mine?

what if I said yes to dancing a little longer on the boardwalk that warm summer night ? And What if we kissed like we wanted to And what if we loved like we were meant to?

What if you said yes when I asked you to? What if you said yes to loving me when I wanted you to? What if I wasn’t too late and what if you didn’t mind waiting ? What if we chose eachother and what if we lasted forever..

Do you still dream of me the way I dream of you ? Or am I a faded memory the way I wished you were to me?

What if we were meant to be? What if? But then again,what if it’s all how it should be?
