It’s been so amazing to watch
It’s been so amazing to watch friends, family, strangers and family of friends meet our needs. Some people we don’t even know have stopped by to bring a card or a few words or a snack. I continue to be amazed by Fellowship of San Diego, the small church down the road, who really adopted us. Some of the people there have only known us for two weeks and yet show us love like we’re old friends. I am also struck by how deep my friends care for me even when our conversations to this point may have only been about work gossip and boy troubles.
I’m just feeling a lot lighter. They told me in the hospital that my depression was only “bad” if it didn’t get better over time. I really feel like it’s working it’s way out of my system bit by bit. That tiny pin prick in the distance is the end of the tunnel, into the sunshine. I’m really very thankful to everyone who has helped me to this point.
I’m terrible with my memory lately. I’ve forgotten names, what day it is, where I put anything and even basic English grammar. I wish I could sit down and write everyone the thank you cards and letters they all deserve, but I’m totally at a loss.
I just know that there have been fresh flowers in my kitchen (in and out of the cats’ mouths 
) every day of my darkness.
Thank you all so much. I can’t pay you all back, but someday I know God will bring someone into my path who I can shower with love and support. I’ll pay it forward and you’ll all, in a way, be a part of that person’s life as well.
