I was out walking one day and I saw a church. Unusually the door was opened and I walked right in. There was a lovely piece of stained glass behind one of the side altars.

I made my way over to it. At first it looked like it was telling the story of a life gone by. Then I looked a little closer. The young child looked very familiar. As I looked further on, I realised why. This wasn't just any child. It was me.

As I kept looking, there were more and more events that meant something to me. From getting all A's in my exams to the sudden loss of my grandpa. The loss of my Grandpa hurt so much. He was a mentor to me and taught me the essence of living. ‘Live in the day and the future will come.’ They were all executed in beautiful stained glass.

I then moved to my present life. There was the starting of my business, the struggles to keep it going and the feeling of success that it's still going.

Then there was the depiction of me meeting my boyfriend all the way up to his proposal. We were in Hawaii. The beach was deserted. He got down on one knee and asked me so shyly. It was sweet! He is everything I’ve ever wanted and more. A sweet nerd in specs. Next was me preparing for the wedding. It was an amazing thing to see.

I turned and walked out with a huge grin on my face. It wasn't what i saw that made me smile. It was what I didn't see. The thing was that at the bottom there was a huge amount of plain glass.

As I kept walking I thought "While I may not know what lies ahead, at least it looks like I've got a long time to find out."
