Surviving this
I just read that Lena Horne lost her father, son, and husband all within a year. She passed yesterday at 92, a truly remarkable woman who suffered more pain than I ever thought.
Reading about her reminded me of something I read in college. It was about senior citizens. The book called them survivors. They've survived death of loved ones, illness, and countless dissapointments and tragedies.
I'm determined to be a survivor. I've lost my husband but I'm not done yet. If Lena Horne can survive the death of three loved one and living life in a world that did not like African Americans, then I certainlly can survive what's happened to me. And I will.
