  Life can be simple, confusing, harsh, and of course amazing. Life can seem unfair, but at the same time understanding. Life is full of lessons; lessons on which we learn to approve how we comprehend relationships with others,  and how we can take those lessons and change them into something so positive. Sometimes Life is so amazing that when a situation that is good it seems like it could last an entirety where you feel nearly invincible. Those moments in life are unbelievable, those feelings seem like they will never go away till that one day....

That one day came to me at an older age for my childhood was normal i could not have asked for a better one...

It was a typical day I had my regular daily routines. It had been three long years since I have seen my husband but I had become immune to sleeping alone at night. My husband was enlisted in the army and was sent away. I checked Dailey to see if his name was on the "Killed in Action" list crossing my fingers and shaking in fear. This had become a "typical day". Just like every the day before, and the day before that day. I went and looked for his name...
          I crossed my fingers and skimmed over the S's like I had done for the last three years.
                    Sabola
                    Satiki..
                    Sasori...
                    Serif.....
          How could this have happened to me.......I wanted to scream.... A widow at this age? My husband was the only family I had, the only one I trusted, my best friend, and of course my loving husband.... I could no longer live in the house we once shared. I lost my mind I was clueless about everything, living in the woodlands I wondered how much longer  could live like this for. I was on the brink of death, passed out on the forest floor. I no longer had the strength to move, I was paralyzed. Then everything went black.......

When I finally had woken up, I looked at my surroundings. where am i? Was i dead?  So many things crossed my mind, as I slowly got out of bed i heard a strange voice. This voice I had never heard before. When this women opened the door and said "Welcome to our monastery!" Her voice brought relief to me, it was soft and elegant and i knew i was in a safe place. Her name was Sorriso, she became my teacher, and new best friend.

  Years passed by and I soon called the Monastery my home. I have made new friends, and have gain knowledge that will forever guide me. I can now look back on my life, and the time I spent with my husband and cherish it. My life has taken a turn and I have finally began to accept it. I will continue my life as a Monk and share my life experiences, my knowledge of what i have learned with those who are in need of inspiration. I can finally say I have reached Nirvana, my peaceful state of mind.
