Ethereal Suite

I welcomed my second child in 2015, my heart brimming with joy and hope. Just a year later my world changed: numbness and weakness led to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a disease that soon confined me to my home. For two years, I watched life pass by my window, my body frail but restless. Desperate for light in the darkness, I picked up a paintbrush. I then painted my dreams, my pain, and my hopes onto canvas. Each brushstroke was an act of courage, a silent promise to myself that I would not let illness define me. I hope that my story will inspire others to find beauty and hope even in the hardest of times.
