I received a lovely birthday video song from the man I loved for more then 7 years along with our furry dog. It was during the climb that I kept a leaf taken from a tree from my garden worn at my heart center. Once at the top I removed it for my heart and place it on the offering with a few flower wishes from the girls.

I released him and the love that we shared into the sky as it had to be my final goodbye. As I sat eating at my local warung, my muscles ached and my eyes were sore but something in me said that this kind of pain will and is making me stronger ready and able to pursue new dreams and eventually a new love.
