In the depths of my being, a fierce battle raged between love and confusion stemming from a painful past. This internal turmoil ultimately led to a stroke, heart attack, and the need for open heart surgery. I found myself at a crossroads, faced with the choice to allow my wounded heart to wither away or fight to keep it beating.

My heart ached for relief, yearning for the freedom and peace that seemed just out of reach. But doubts lingered like looming shadows, threatening to consume me. I knew then that I had to confront my pain, embrace the light, and let love take the reins. Only through love and forgiveness could I find the strength to carry on.
