Opening up and a big thank you!

8:00 AM

Thanks for all the kind words and prayers that have been sent our way recently. In a way I'm so grateful for the technology we have where we can all have our own virtual support system through emails, social media, etc. I know you all couldn't be there in person but it still helped. There were so many people who reached out to me and told me their similar stories and that really helped me. I knew I wasn't alone in this situation but hearing about how others went through it was comforting. I had a cousin say "it's a blessing and a curse that there are so many people around you who have experienced the same thing." It's totally true. 

It was so hard for me to open up about what we went through. What I went through. But because I did open up, I can now move on and have more peace about the situation. I'm learning slowly that opening up and making yourself vulnerable can sometimes be a good thing. Whenever you are ready to do that of course. 

It's hard to let people in and see that you are not as perfect as they think you are. I work hard every day to be a good wife and mother. Friend, sister and daughter. So why don't we all open up a little more so we can help each other? 

Because we all know there are others out there who are going through or have already been through the exact same thing. Love you guys, and thanks again!

  1. Amen, amen, amen! Exposing the 'real us' to the world completely goes against the believe-my-life's-perfect culture we live in. Thank you so, so much for sharing something with all of us that will bless so many others' lives now or in the future. We love you and your little family and we're praying for you!
