She just takes it one breath at a time.

A very dear friend of mine has gone through so much trauma lately. Her son has been sick basically since the day he was born, her father underwent a kidney transplant and just last week passed from cancer. And as if that was not enough, her home burned down yesterday. And yet she continues to just push through, without complaint, without emotional breakdown.
I am in awe of how she functions through this. It doesn't make sense in my head. Not even a little. Not at all.
I think of myself- of the things I struggle with. And it all seems so big at times. It seems too much to handle. But in the scope of things, my life is a piece of cake.
I look at Stephanie and I see her strength- her never ending desire to just "get through" and she makes it seem so easy. My heart aches at how her outside shell refuses to show weakness. I pray to God that this is it. No more trauma for her family.
