Losing sunshine
There are certain matters, events, people who give us all the ability to go on. Make our days brighter. Our nights warm. Our hearts warm and fill up our life with bright warm sunshine. These events or people are the essence of essentially everything positive we feel around us. These are the peeks that transform the gray valleys we live in, into a majestic landscape of mountain tops and meadows of lush, green playful grass

Picture of sunset in Kirkland. Similar picture I took found here
We call them our personal bundle of Sunshine, or the wind beneath our wings or what have you. But these events and people are the only things that leave a mark on our map of life
Sometimes, more often than desired we end up in a position where someone or something takes our sunshine away from us. In a dark and evil eclipse of events. You wake up one day to the cold creepy gray matter that descends on you. Lifeless, cold and dark, it drowns you under a million layers of heavy emptiness. And strips you away from your sunshine
As your heart start chipping away while you clutch to whatever is left from your precious sunshine you can feel deep inside that it's not going to be the same. You will no longer wake up to the brightest smile as sunshine rains down on your face. You will no longer stay warm and shielded at night from everything out there. You no can no longer take on the world with an open chest and say Bring-it-on! You know, you have just lost your sunshine ..
This sunshine becomes like a fix for a drug addict. You need it, you crave it. You're willing to do anything to have it. And once you start losing it .. you feel your muscles aching, you heart weakening, your soul braking. It just feels like death is crawling up your legs to have a piece of you.
Do you know what's your sunshine?

Memories....
As for me, my sunshine is when I visit my family back home and hold my mom close to my heart.. I don't have that always since we are in two separate worlds right now, but I cling to the hopes that I will see her every big vacation I have inshalla ;)
Probably the part of the brightness, not all of it, thank god for what you have, and the sun will shine back, there is always hope :) …
What’s my sunshine? As everybody else, it’s family.. always family :)
I have little sunshines everywhere :) . Life is full of them you just need to open your eyes.
