I need to thank my friends. You know who you are. You are the ones who lift me out of my trench. You call me even when you know I don't want to talk. You show up at my house to check on me. You make sure I am not alone and you invite me places so I don't feel left out. You hang with my boys and help me move furniture. You seek me out to see how I am and you don't care if I tell you that my day sucked!
The past 10 weeks I have lived in somewhat of a fog. Time has passed by so quickly but at the same time it has been a painfully slow process of readjustment. Some of you have witnessed my whining, crying boys. Many of you listen to me vent and bitch and moan about how crappy my days have been. No judgement and that is HUGE. So many people are so judgemental and that really stinks. It feels good to have people I can be brutally honest with.
Life is hard right now. Everything is complicated. Nothing is ordinary. Nothing feels right yet. I know it will. In the meantime we will just keep plugging along and trying to figure out how to put the pieces of our "puzzle" back together.
My friends are so important - you have no idea. I know I have not been the best friend to some of you. I hardly have time to think let alone really pour into my friendships and yet you carry me through this time and expect nothing in return. Thank you for not judging me (I know I already said that but I really mean it) and for accepting me just as I am. Thanks for the countless hours of listening and for helping me in every single area of my life. I hope not one of you ever has to go through what we are going through right now. This is so big and scary and hard and unimaginable.
It's times like these when you find out who's on the team. Thanks to those who have stepped up to bat for us and who have supported and loved us. I love my friends and I am thankful to be so loved by so many of them. We look forward to sharing our wonderful future with all of you.
Love and Thanks,
L
BTW - I met with my school counselor and I am going back to school to get my Nursing Degree. I am super excited. Anatomy here I come! Keep your fingers crossed!

I have not commented in a while, but I still follow every single post. I look to you for encouragement and strength. My dad passed away on Feb 23 from liver failure due to his cancer. It's nice to see your struggles and strengths as you cope with this difficult time. It seems my mom and I are following all too closely in your footsteps. You and your boys are still in my thoughts and prayers.
Congratulations on the nursing!! You have just the right heart for it! I am actually currently waiting to hear if I was accepted to my school's nursing program! It's a wonderful profession and you are just the kind of person this world needs as a nurse.
Blessings to you and your boys.
