It's unfortunate that sometimes it takes a life altering event to change the way you look at your friends. I have never been one to ask for help or even take it when it is offered. I am a stubborn person and have a tendency to feel like I could never possibly need help. I can do anything on my own. But with my mom being so sick, I have learned that it's okay to let someone help me. It's okay to let someone take my child for an afternoon. Even if all I do is veg out in front of the TV or take a nap. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful friends I have made at my church. I thank God each and every day for them and also for their children. Their children are giving my daughter another kind of family. Not just the family that she was born into, but the family created through the love of Christ. She is learning about community and friendship at a very young age. Something some kids don't get to experience. She has such a great time with all of her friends. And I love all of them and their mothers (and fathers) like family.
Thank you to all of my amazing friends. I don't know how I could cope with this time without you!
