“This too shall pass” are words I've often spoken somewhere in my thoughts. So many times, it seems, throughout my life at one point or another.

Far more than I would've liked to, at any rate, I leaned on these words. Although in those days, I didn't think about the whys or the reasons. At first, they were just words I had heard, more than likely, as a child.

Over time, I saw the obvious hope, the strength that came with these words. Although for me, they spoke of a much deeper meaning.

They will forever reflect the definition of what “hope”
truly means to me.

That no matter what we may face in life or what comes to burden our existence, there will always be a morning after the trials we face in life.

That through hope, with faith, there will always be a way to find
strength, courage, and the will to endure. Embracing that which exists beyond sight, in a light that overcomes all darkness.
