There

I'm not going to get into the recent pain I've been going through... or the current situation. At least not yet. I am healing... We are healing. And headed to a better place.

I wanted to say a thing or two about family. In your head, you know that your family is "there" for you. It's not until you truely fall into a pit that you either realize they ARE there or they're NOT there. My family is THERE. From calls to cards to prayers to silent, good vibes and thoughts (which is sometimes the best), my family showed their true colors.

I think the most obvious display was from my mom. While at her house she simply said with tears in her eyes, "Forget what I told you in Kindergarten." This implied that I was always welcome to stay with her. A long time ago, probably after Kindergarten - but who's counting? - my parents told each of us kids that after we moved out of the house, that was it. We were on our own. They also stressed that they raised (reared) us kids and that they were not going to rear ours. Times change. God knows what's best. There was a time when I prayed to God not to let me have kids even if I asked for them later because I didn't want to go through the pain of childbirth. Thank God He turns a deaf ear sometimes!

Anyway, I have a request for my family. Please continue to support me through forgiveness. This is harder to do than to offer a house or a hand or your heart. I am trying to forgive and I need the support of my family more than ever to forgive as well. Please think about it.
