Monday 15th of April
Life has been quite tough, especially with what’s going on in my life right now.
My dad was diagnosed with a rare cancer 6 months ago and I essentially became his caretaker, coming to almost all of his appointments 3 times a week, every 2 weeks at Joondalup hospital.
Now it’s April and it’s been a rough start to the month, having my first heartbreak of my 20s and last night, my two closest friends had a falling out.
I was having the worst morning, I honestly felt defeated.
I just wanted to lay in bed and wallow in my sadness but I had remembered I had a responsibility to take my dad to the hospital for a CT scan.
This CT scan is the final check up to see if the chemotherapy has worked and we are hoping and praying that he is in the all clear.
After his appointment was finished I walk into the elevator in the carpark to go home.
I see a little heart hanging from the hand rails, thinking a child must’ve left something.
I pick it up and see the cutest quilted heart in the world, obviously I turn around and check it and looked up the website reading the cause behind this project.
I’m a big believer in signs, and I needed this heart and there’s a reason why I was the one to find it.
I also absolutely love stars and the fact that this heart has star embellishment reminds me that in the darkest time, there will always be a light that shines.
Reminding me that everything will be okay.
To the person who made this heart,
Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart, I have hung this heart next to my mirror and it will be a reminder every single day that things will get better.
