On Letting Go…

"There is a God my friend"

How far would you go to save a life if part of the responsibility was shyly tossed in your shoulder?

This week was all about learning a lesson between valuing life and friendship, and letting go of sentimentalities for a while. I realized that I didn’t have to think twice. What good will my measly savings do if it would not relieve a mother’s anxious heart? What good will those pieces of jewelry be to me when it will be used to simply flaunt a shallow image?
