Sorrow Flower

This quote is one of my favorites!!!! At this stage in my life, I’m experiencing sorrow and hope within the same day. Family members are passing on and new babies are being born! When I was 16 none if it mattered or affected me, now that I have a family of my own, everything is important to me. It’s strange to wake up one morning and realize, “I’m an adult!”
