One Year.
I cried,
I wailed,
I made mistakes.
I was so weak,
I broke.
ONE YEAR LATER
I am becoming stronger,
I am making amends,
My wailing is no longer silent.
My crying is no longer quiet,
I am learning.

Suffering takes time. It took me more then 365 days to mourn my school closing. Just be patient, things take time.
