In the darkness (fear) a spark is a precious gift to receive.Ī spark can simply be inner strength along with hope. Love can cause darkness, if love is threatened, (I loved my daughter very much) it can turn to a black fear at the thought of losing the one you love dearly. I found out that my first born daughter was very ill with a severe heart defect. When was the beginning of my sparks? I always knew that life was to be enjoyed. Where does the spark come from? Don’t we all wonder about this in our darkness? When I woke up to find myself in a hospital and was paralyzed, I didn’t feel victimized. I grew to believe that there must be a reason. I was angry and confused, and terribly sad, but I wasn’t a victim.

My darkest experience was when my oldest daughter died suddenly. I am not, nor have I ever felt that I was a victim in this life. In looking back at them, I can state that the spark never faded within, or failed to be ignited when needed. I have had several very dark and traumatic experiences thus far in my life. I’ve always heard a tiny whisper that states that it all truly is possible! Perhaps there are some of us who simply listen to our inner voice that will say that anything is possible. Life is not to be trudged through in my opinion. When I say spark, I am referring to a deep rooted feeling, or a belief, perhaps it is a knowingness that our life on this earth is truly a gift and it is meant to be good. I feel certain that I, as well as every person, was born with a spark inside their soul.
