A Bright New Future Ripped Away

2016 was suppose to be the year that my future was going to improve. A beloved person in my life did a tarot card reading and said this was the year everything was going to change. He said I would get a home of my own, that I will start the family I have been dreaming of... that everything I wanted would come this year.

January 7th, my father in law died in a car wreck. We had been living with him until our house could be built. He was also finally starting to teach my husband to drive. His death threw our lives into a massive upheaval. We couldn't build our house and we now were responsible for taking care of my mother in law who is too sickly to live on her own. Worse still, the will listing that we were to keep their house went missing after a visit from Dad's brother and his wife.

As of tomorrow, I will be homeless once again. I have been homeless all my life... but now I am homeless with a husband, a mother in law, and pets to worry about. I have spent months weeping, and piece by piece, I have watched my dreams crumble like sand. My beloved friend told me to not give up, that his vision for me is coming still but it's hard to believe in a bright future when all you can see is the mud of life.
