i've been completely out of the blogging loop
we have some issues with E right now
nothing medical
i can't share what's going on, it's just too personal
however; i did want to share what helps me get through this
messages like this from my friend are amazing
i sit and cry as i read it
i save it for when i need a little support, go back to it and sit and cry again
i'm a big cry baby, always have been
"my dear girl...feelings suck and are transitory and change a number of times a day. Even though it's hard as heck, ya gotta lean on what you know to be true, regardless of the feelings.
Truth: Tonya is never alone, even when she feels like it
Truth: Tonya is always loved, even when she doesn't feel like she is
Truth: Tonya is beautiful, even when she doesn't get that affirmation
Truth: Tonya is treasured beyond what she can even imagine, even when events and 'stuff' of life tell her otherwise
Truth: This 'stuff' will end, even when it feels endless.
Truth: Tomorrow will be different in some fashion. The stuff of today can never be repeated in exactness.
Truth: Tonya is so much stronger and more courageous than she knows, and she can handle anything.
Truth: God is cheering you on!
Hold on, girl...you can make it!"
Those are great words from your friend. It sounds like you have a great support person there for you. Hope things get back on track before you know it! Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Such wonderful words of truth, encouragement and support...
ReplyDeleteDon't know and don't need to know the details, but i am an active prayer warrior, so i will choose to support this struggle in the best way that i can
you, E and TJ will be part of my prayers
Praying for the three of you during this "rough spell"
