16d

The losses keep coming, each one testing my strength. Today my uncle passed away — just over a month after losing my dad, his brother. It feels heavy, but I will keep going.

But I’m still here. Still breathing. Still choosing to look for small things to hold onto.

1. Dad and my uncle are no longer separated by illness or time.
2. I am stronger than I feel in the middle of the night.
3. I am not walking through this completely alone.
Bonus: This sunrise on the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the images in my “filmstrip in my head” — the kind I think about when I wake in the night. It reminds me that light returns, and with it comes quiet gratitude and hope for the day ahead.

A wide sunrise landscape photographed from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The sun is just cresting the horizon at the far left, appearing as a small, glowing red-orange orb. A dramatic band of fiery orange and red clouds stretches across the upper third of the sky, contrasting against cooler pale blue tones above. Layers of dark blue and charcoal mountain ridges recede into the distance, creating a soft, hazy gradient of depth. The valley below is mostly in shadow, with faint patchwork fields and winding roads barely visible in the dim early light. The overall mood is peaceful and expansive, with vivid color along the horizon and deep silhouettes in the foreground.
