“You saved me with all your love”

3 years ago my dad survived a brain aneurysm rupture. It’s been a long, very long road with months of coma, hospitals and rehabilitation. I’ve NEVER lost faith although at the beginning and for months doctors were just telling us terrible things. Very, very bad news everyday.

One day I’d like to do something special to connect with the people facing the same situation ’cause I lived that… and still am living it. When the accident happened, I decided to never lose hope and be strong whatever the doctors would say. I found a strength inside me I never knew I had. Maybe sometimes it was denial but it helped me focus to be there for my dad for the long haul.

I love my dad more than anything. He is a real sunshine and when I look at him I always see this kid on the picture. Look at those eyes!

Taking care of your loved ones can make a change. Be there for them and love them

Lust For Life

‘Cause we’re the masters of our own fate
We’re the captains of our own souls
So there’s no need for us to hesitate
We’re all alone, let’s take control

 

 

 

Silver Lining

‘If you’re ever gonna find a silver lining
It’s gotta be a cloudy day
If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning
You’re gonna have to stand in the rain’

My inspiration was this wonderful song ‘Silver Lining’! Kacey’s songs are pure masterpieces. Lyrically, musically… Love her and her band. Like I’m totally obsessed actually! XD

Perfection!

Honor the True Love

Bye Bye February! Here’s a drawing I made on Valentine’s Day and… kinda forgot to publish it here!

I am sharing pics of my sketches on Instagram… almost daily, so follow me!

Goodnight Moon

Dreams…dreams…dreams. I painted this yesterday, feeling like I should make a landscape. Just googled Hawaii and found some nice inspiration. I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii and I realized that that wish had kinda disappeared until yesterday. ‘Cause guess what? It’s back. I just got it. Totally unconsciously. Maybe it’s a sign I am back too.

My blog has always been about dreams. I paint what makes me dream. I am a dreamer, it keeps me alive to have dreams to fulfill, especially these past few months, spending all my time at hospitals, speaking to pessimistic yet honest doctors, being around very sad families, feeling other people’s pain, not being able to sleep… I have been through a lot. Emotionally especially. My dad almost died in front of me. Then he spent months in coma. No one could tell us if he would wake up and how. But today he was able to say Happy Birthday to me, and yes the road is still long. Very long. But today it’s like everything makes more sense.

Turning 27 today I want more than ever to fulfill my dreams, keep having hope, and keep thinking nothing is impossible. Cause no one, absolutely no one but me, thought there was a chance for my dad to survive. I will never stop thinking that there is hope. Cause there is. Always.

I want to keep shining for my dad ’cause he said I was his light. So I will keep doing what I do best, believing and dreaming. And sharing art.

Love,

Cha.
