To my life source – 33 is considered a master number that represents compassion, blessings, inspiration, honesty, discipline, bravery, and courage. It also symbolizes guidance and the importance of helping others and fostering unity.
That is the perfect embodiment of what you’ve been to me for the entire 33 years of my life.
You told me I could survive and continue living without my late husband and be successful on my own. Never forgetting the mark he left but becoming my own woman.
You told me out of love that last little relationship wasn’t going to work because you can’t love people into their potential, they have to want it for themselves. You told me when someone shows you who they are believe them and don’t try to gaslight myself into believing differently. His loss.
You told me you admired my calling to serve other people but, to not set myself on fire to keep other people warm. You gave me your strength, many times when you had none for yourself.
You taught me the true meaning of “it is what it is.” You taught me the true meaning of “cry, then boss up.” You taught me that this world doesn’t owe me anything, but I owe myself everything.
You made me want to live again. You’ve given me life not once but many times over.
For always summoning your strength to support me through my most fragile and chaotic moments.
Thank you for holding my hand as I save and heal myself. Thank you for being my source of strength as I rebuild the essence of my very being, in which you created.
I am nothing without your love, compassion, and encouragement. I love you more than anything.
Every chapter will always be dedicated to you. For as long as I live.
