I hand wrote this in purple ink on a card with disney stickers. They should receive in in the next day or two.
I heard that you’re having a hard time; that you’re seriously struggling. I’m so sorry. I wish I could make it better.
I wish I had a magic wand that I could wave and take away
your hurt and stress.
You are loved. I care about you. I want to help.
October 2013 marked the end (I hope) of the hardest year in
my entire life. I went through more
tragedies than any one should have to experience in their life and I got them
all in twelve months. The highlights?
(low points?) included the death of my father in law, the suicide of a family
friend and the collapse of my marriage (a 16 year relationship)
Lessons I learned:
- The shower is the best place to cry
- Eventually you will run out of tears. But they replenish quickly.
- The sleep of the emotionally drained is healing.
- Humankind is amazing. Kindred spirits appear.
- An unexpected shoulder to lean on is a precious thing.
- The clear night sky will put it all in perspective.
- Let it go. You can’t do everything, all the time.
- The sun will rise and tomorrow will be today, regardless of your wishes.
- Find a joy. Everyday. Smile.
- Say thank you for every kindness. (You’ll say thank you more than you realize)
- Don’t lose sight of the truly important.
Know that people care.
Know that unexpected people care.
Accept the caring.
Love,
Kristin
