I have been through a very challenging week. My limits have been tested. My emotions at a breaking point. My feelings have been hurt and much, much more. Through all of this though....I have realized how important family really is. And how much my family supports me and loves me through one of the most challenging times of my life. I am not one who has an easy time asking for help or imposing on others. I will do everything I can to try to do it on my own and if I can't I will pretend like I can.
This week has been awful. I cannot begin to describe what I have been going through and I will spare you the details. One of the things I have needed was my family and they have been there all along, I have just been a little blind, or perhaps prideful about it. My future sister in law Liz has been fantastic to talk to since she has been through similar challenging times. My mom and sister in law Tanisha have been a huge help in my time of need. My dad has been a listening ear, as well as my brothers. They have offered advice and let me know they care and feel I have made a right decision.
It is because of my family that my apartment is furnished as much as it is. And now, today, even moreso, since my brother decided to buy me a much needed mattress so my child no longer slept on the floor. (Don't get me wrong...he loves sleeping on the floor...its kinda like camping, especially when you turn it into a fort, but he is super happy to have a bed now). Not only did they buy me the mattress but 3 matching bed sets for all my boys' beds. It is complete, and I am overwhelmed with love and appreciation for the family I have been blessed with. So, I guess what I am saying is....I love you and I thank you. It is nice to know that they are there for me emotionally, financially, or even just foolishly there to make me smile. My family is good peoples and NO ONE can tell me differently! :)
