Frederique van der Wal Instagram – Today is a significant day, marking the anniversary of my mother’s passing, many many years ago.
She is with me, and I continue to celebrate her life always. While there have been moments when I longed to be embraced by her and feel her unconditional love, I have also found solace in viewing life through a different perspective. Instead of succumbing to anger and sorrow, I made a conscious decision to embrace life with full force.
I carry my parents presence close to my heart, allowing their love and guidance to be a constant source of comfort.
I am grateful for the years I had them by my side during the most pivotal moments of my formative years; they have shaped me into the person I am today.
Even their passing made me stronger and more positive in my outlook to life.
As I reflect on this journey, I am reminded of a quote by Rumi: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Realizing the profound beauty in these poetic words, I have come to understand that our wounds can lead us towards a life we genuinely desire to live.
