Do you ever wonder what your life would be like without certain people in it? If there’s anything that this whole experience has taught me it’s that the people that are meant to be in your life will find their way into your life. My circle has become smaller and I only see it continuing to do so from here. God definitely had a way of weeding out the toxic ones that I didn’t need and also brought new ones into my life.
I am forever thankful for everyone that is always there to support me because I know I will need it now more than ever in these next few months. I would also like to mention that I am especially thankful for the ones that I pushed away and that have stayed by my side anyways. I have a tendency to isolate myself when I’m going through depression or hard times and I know I can be cold and seem like I don’t care. The truth is that I care so much and just don’t like to overwhelm anyone.
Sorry, this post isn’t meant to be sad, it’s supposed to be about the importance of friendship, support, and love. THANK YOU for continuing to make me smile in the darkest of moments of my life. Your presence means more to me than you will ever know.
Your post didn’t sound sad at all. It sounded contemplative and reflective. Sometimes when we go through a difficult moment we see those that love us through it.
I found the same when we were at the hospital with Jason. There were some that got angry I didn’t call or reach out. I hate asking for help even though I’m the first to offer it. I was trying to figure so much out, I did his blog to have 1 place to do updates. Trying to call or explain things repeatedly was exhausting. I’m glad I wrote about it on a FB page. It has helped a few people who dealt with TBI and gave them hope. It is also special to my son. When it comes up (as it did this month) on the 6th anniversary of his 2nd chance, we call each other. We count our blessings. Talk about stories during that time and agree to take more care with life. Your family bringing us Starbuck’s during our vigil always comes up. You weren’t demanding. You were letting us know you were there. That was enough.
Praying that knowing others are thinking of you and remembering you, James and the family with love, kindness and fondness is of some comfort to you as well.
