back to work

my sweet summer break is over, i return to work on monday. i don’t feel incredibly rested or healed but i do feel like i have a fight to fight. i’ve got families to support, kids to love and coworkers to invest in. i just learned that a sweet kiddo dear to my heart relapsed. and just a few weeks ago, one of our babies passed away. cancer continues to invade lives and rear its ugly, unforgiving head. i can’t seem to escape the effects of it despite being away from work, my heart hurts for those families, grieves with my coworkers, yearns to hold someone’s hand to comfort…so back to work it is. back to fighting with all i’ve got on behalf of those sweet children that are far too young and should not be suffering inside of a hospital.
