Lila's Hug of Hope

While Lila was in the hospital, I received heartbreaking news that Lila’s health was declining, and getting to a point where there was limited medical interventions.  Having to make heartbreaking decisions in the near future was destroying me, I barley had energy to stand up.  While laying next to Lila, one of her nurses grabbed a blanket wrapped me up and gave me a sincere hug and told me Lila was lucky to have me as her mom. Sometimes, a sudden hug can change someone’s life without any reason. I hoped Lila would give me a sign as I did not know what to do…the next day Lila told me she was ready to be my forever angel.

 

Hope:  to cherish a desire with anticipation: to want something to happen or be true

 

Hope motivates us to keep going, even when things seem impossible or overwhelming. When we have hope, we believe that better days are ahead and that we can make positive changes in our lives and in the world around us.
