Did you know Australia has the greatest number of beaches in the world?! With 10,685 beaches to choose from you could visit a new beach every day for the next 29 years! Now that's a whole new level of #travelgoals ✈️ #FactThursday 📸: Incredible Aerial Photography by Niaz Uddin
One of my dearest friends posted this quote "She didn't always follow the recipe..." along this beautiful beach in Australia. This made me miss my late sister-in-law who died from breast cancer while carrying her 6 months baby boy. She didn't take any treatment so her son will have a chance to live, but grievously their heartbeat stopped altogether.

Her baby boy in 22 weeks

Her tough times in the hospital
This letter is from her daughter who never left her side, full of HOPE, love and bravery until the last breath of her mom. It hangs on the wall in her room, and some days the light catches it just so and she knows her mother is saying hello.
What she said about it, when the light hit it, today struck a deep chord in me. "Such a simple string of metaphor to remember there is never one way, there is only your way."
That's the kind of thing that makes my soul cry out in a way it only does when it comes face to face with deeply universal truths. The kind that encourage human tenderness. Yes. There is only your way. You will learn the hard way. You will make mistakes. You will have great love. You will experience tragic loss. People will give you advice and it will, sometimes, be taken but it will not save you from the good or the bad. You will live in your own way and you don't need to apologize for ANY of it. There is only your way. There is only your heart beating in your chest. Serve it first. Do so with kindness and consideration for the world around you, obviously. Own your own way. Grip it in your first and hold it tight. Be true.
Thank you Mommy Keith!

Hello there Steemians co-traveller @klen.civil :-)
This kind of post is exactly what STEEMIT is all about - Bringing not only News Articles which are not written most of the time by users - but real life writing and letting us into your life. Not just into your life - but into your innermost being - full of emotions, memories, prayers and love.
I appreciate this post and sharing it with us. It truly is a heroic story of a woman that chose to fight - chose to not give up - Unfortunately it did not have a happy ending but the the happiness is in the message the story tells - of hope, of promise of a life lost that undoubtedly is looking down on her family right now .
A good deed never goes unnoticed - Sometimes to really get noticed you need some help from a random good-hearted person
ENJOY the Boosters to gain some compensation for the post and to more importantly to let it gain more visibility
Special thanks to @randowhale and @booster -
Take it away boys!! - I mean bots!!
Thank you @krytonika for the appreciation. :-) Let’s express the oneness within so as we lift ourselves we lift others. xx
You are very welcome @whitesummer - Very Welcome and again my condolences for your loss. Losing someone is never easy - "Let's express the oneness within so as we lift ourselves we lift others" - I love those words from you! And just hearing them makes me moreso justify promoting, boosting your post for you etc so that it can be read, emotions felt, and also allow the readers to have more gratitude for the even the smallest things we all seem to take for granted in life. My hope was that more people would also resteem/promote this post which you honorably allowed us into your life -
Right now it's only been 21 hours but I will certainly continue to promote it so it can make the world a better place and so others also never lose thoughts and prayers of the loved ones they lost - I seek no personal gains from you or anyone as I know karma will come back around to me down the road - please use a small % of the post earnings to help someone else's post that may be similar to yours or that has the same type of message - @whitesummer God Bless You -
Whales - can anyone help this post out bettter than I? @jerrybanfield @craig-grant @trevonjb -
I know these whales are probably tired of me linking their names to posts I really before in but they do all have very philanthropic spirits - that I know for a fact! I Love each and every one of you - taking to the entire community
Yes, will do. Thank you so much @krytonika and Steeminians. Much love to all!
Once again no worries - my mantra is to support the people that deserve it and Karma always comes back around in some way shape or form - As you can see I'm no Whale - still a lil minnow but random acts of kindness is precisely what STEEMIT needs to THRIVE
May she rest in peace. I know it's hard for your niece right now coz it's still fresh. Just always remind her that you're there for her and you will never leave her. She needs you sis. She might be annoying sometimes but I'm sure it's part of despression. She's questioning a lot of things because she's anxious about living life without the most important person in her life. I'm sure if I'm in her shoes, I will be crying all night too. Just make her happy while you're still with her. On October, you will be moving abroad. And I hope, by that time, she's ready to be on her own. Like what she told you, she's trying to be "INDEPENDENT". 😎
Couldn't agree to you sis...you'll definitely be a good mom (someday), and a lovely auntie too to you're coming nephew/niece next year :p
After we settle our business errands and your condo let's bring her to ice skating ring or perhaps Star City!! What you think @pinaynomad ?
Ice skating rink in mega would be nice! :)
