“Serenity”

Calm possessed her for the first time in seven months.
She no longer felt the need to scream and curse God.
The cacophony of doctors, nurses, and life-sustaining machines no longer blared in her head.
In this moment, her only memory was of the beautiful Mona Lisa smile her mother gave her before taking her last breath.
She looked down, her tears mixing with the cool evening waters, watching the ashes float away, becoming one with her mother’s beloved cove.
Despite her broken heart, she enjoyed the twilight’s serenity, knowing the woman who had given her life was at peace.
Beautiful, Denise. I hope we all get to that place of acceptance and peace when our loved ones pass on. ❤
