She was truly a WARRIOR.

She didn’t want to be the strong one, she just did what she had to do to survive.

She wouldn’t call it being strong, she’d just say that she was being herself.

There were so many hard days that she didn’t want to get out of bed, didn’t want to show up and just didn’t have it..

But she did anyways, most of the time with a smile on her face.

She never really understood why everyone leaned on her so heavily, because she didn’t think herself any different than anyone else.

She didn’t worry about what challenges or hard days lie ahead..she was always up to the task.

She may stumble through some and get lost a time or two, but she always figured it out.

She didn’t know how strong she was until being strong was her only option.

She chose each and every day to get up when she fell, find a way when she failed and always made it to the top of the mountain she was trying to climb.

It wasn’t easy and it was usually painful, but she took it all and kept going..

That’s just who she was.

She had that special something that pushed her to keep going when every ounce of her spirit screamed to quit.

She couldn’t tell you why she was the way she was until one day, it dawned on her.

Her path had never been easy and it had its fair share of bruises and scrapes along the way, but she always managed to push through it all.

When she was tired, when she was weary, when she was bruised..she kept going.

She chose to be brave because that’s who she needed to be to rise out of the ashes and forge a better life for herself.

No excuses, regrets or apologies.

She was the one a kind brave soul that did whatever it took to be strong.

They’d look at her and marvel at her courage, strength and bravery, saying she was just born that way.

She’d smile graciously at their compliments.

She knew no one was born strong.

You either fight, struggle and overcome ..or you quit.

She didn’t choose her path, it chose her.

She carried the light for others so that they, too, could find their strength.

She was brave, courageous and strong for herself and all the others in her life that needed her to be.

She was and would always be a warrior..

And as she always did,

she smiled and kept going.
