It's funny because when I was in my thirties, I went to a Chinese fortune teller. And he said I will be rich in my early fifties. At the time, I was working at ATASK making about $30k. That prediction seem so far-fetched. And throughout the years, I thought the ONLY way I would be rich is through my husband. I was on track but look what happened? And now, there is a real possibility that it can happen, if things go well at work. Who knows? Maybe not rich but at least comfortable.
I know some friends and family members are struggling financially and wonder how can I help? What would my Mom do if she was still alive? Yes, I still wonder how she would handle it even though we're coming up on her third anniversary since she passed.
Am I better now that some time has passed? Not really, I still struggle with not having her here. It's weird but I don't feel her presence yet. Yes, I know she is gone but I thought for sure I would feel her spiritually? If that makes sense. But then I rationalize that she is working hard taking care of others who needs her more. So I take comfort in that.
But I do need her and at some point, I hope she comes around!
