From the ashes, she rises once more

Everyone meets someone unique every once in a while... Meeting someone who perservere through life's trials of fire and rise again from the ashes, that's definitely inner strength unseen.

Demara & Reynold are two such persons.

Wife of two months to Army Sgt Adam W. Estep, Demara went through the worst type of pain that I can only claim to fathom. But time heals and despite not seeing Demara going through the pain she went through for the past years (and will probably continue to face), it is my greatest honor and privilege to see her rise from the ashes.

Her new mate, almost a common man, but one that possesses healing energy of a water dragon of sorts. Definitely one of the biggest heart a creature could claim to own, a kind soul and a being of true love; he managed to coax and soothe her from her burning cinders. Wings torn, golden feathers in soot, she rise again, slowly but surely.

I watched in tears, my heart trembled. I am sadden by their circumstance but I envy their bond.

These two mythical beings join into a harmonious cry. Such roaring silence of rebirth. For this is truly, life's greatest trials.

Demara & Reynold, you both have opened my heart. My warmest wishes to you both. May life open doors in every direction as you move into your new life together.
