my father told me that life was a series of emotional chapters like a map of my journey exposed in this puzzle with all the challenges of life and all the wounds that scar full of painful shadows that hide grief and deep regrets like daggers the suffering pushed away and hidden exposed in this puzzle a voice inside whispers only negative of the thousand faces of me faces I have worn in life on this endless long twisted journey faces ever changing and fading away exposed in this puzzle I can see each life destination and yes, places that shatter me territories and lands I have experienced places I have forgotten on purpose inner landscapes that hurt my soul exposed in this puzzle some marked as remarkable and striking some have no joy to recall its a magical world this map I close my eyes to travel to be there in the past exposed in this puzzle and I finally face the battle to destroy those hurtful memories forever

A raw heartfelt piece you have shared with us Constance please remember you are not alone on this journey your heavenly father has been inside you feeling and knowing all you went through. sometimes we forget he is there with us. I hope you are coping I know the loss of Snuggles has stir your inner being. I can tell in your writings. Life are full of highs and lows. The lows tear us apart and they take time to get us through the pain felt in the heart and thoughts of what we care most of.
