The things I learned today,

I this morning I opened my eyes and saw the sun light streaming through my window and thought what a beautiful day. There were very few clouds in the sky, but enough to give it a picturesque view. I thought to myself what a gorgeous day and then I bawled my eyes out, which I had already done until 4 am the prior night.

I got up made my coffee and cried some more. Then suddenly my life changed. It's amazing how some people can change your life in the blink of an eye. Today a lot of people did that. Today I learned that I have real friends who stand up for me and who love me greatly, more than I ever dreamed of. I was truly humbled by the outpouring of love and support I have received in the last 24 hours and greatly uplifted.  I'm not going to say that my child and I haven't spilled a lot of tears but a lot of mine have been of joy today.  Okay maybe 50 50

Today I learned how loved I am. How important I am to people. Tonight I have no more tears I have been held by arms that love me, uplifted by prayers from people that love me and been given encouragement by people that love me.

So as I start my new chapter in this life I am happy and I have my head held up. Thank you to all of my friends who have shown me how greatly I am loved.
