NOSTALGIC
by Alexa Oliva
Today I felt a bit nostalgic starting my day thinking of my mother-in-law. I have not been able to take her off my mind. I guess cause soon it will be 6 months since she passed. I have felt so shaken at the core of my existence. I feel changed forever. It has made me into such a different person. I look at life so differently and having looked at death in the eyes I no longer feel scared of life, just scared to hurt my family.
Today though I also realized that I married my best friend. And the only person that I can not live my life without. I believe her death has brought us closer than ever and I feel his love more now as well. I promised her I would take care if him till I die and I will.
Thank you Victoria for teaching me so much, for being my friend, my mentor and my family. I will always love you for who you were and for giving me the love of my life.
