I have a lot of stuff going wrong in my life. From my mental and physical health worsening to sexual harassment and stalking. As a single mother with mental health issues trying to just make it each and every day, it became a struggle and too much for me to bare. Yesterday I decided to give up throw in the towel…i fell to the floor crying thinking about the past year and a half of working so hard to bring positivity and light into my life and watch it crumble within seconds before my eyes. This morning, on the way to take my son to the bus stop I see something in a tree and it’s so beautiful. Made of my favorite colors and oh how I love flowers! This heart was exactly what I needed and I looked around and I looked at it and I’m like why has no one else grabbed it? Cuz there was a lot of other parents and children waiting for the buses and no one had taken it. I thought maybe it was left there for someone and I shouldn’t touch it but then I read that it needed a home and I have a home however broken it is I can give it a home! I held on to this heart, holding it close to mine and I felt a sense of peace that I hadn’t felted so long. After my son had gotten on the bus I went to this website and found out that this was meant for me to have when I need it most and boy did I ever need it! I feel so alone and so lost and having to hold it together so that my son won’t find out that is mom is losing it! I may not have family or friends or anyone to turn to. I may not have enough money to make it month to month even. I may not have my shit together but I can tell you what I do have and that is my hope is restored! Hope that tomorrow will be better hope that I will make it through all of my trials and tribulations. I smile on my face knowing that I do have some strength wherever it may be I just have to find it again but I have hope I will do so! So for whoever put this beautiful heart in that little pine tree next to the black fence between two apartment complexes, thank you! You may not know me and I don’t know you but I have love for you and appreciation for you more than you’ll ever know. Thank you for helping me get my life back. This heart is everything to me and I immediately put it on my phone lanyard and I’ve been wearing it all morning.
