Just wanted to let you know that I was here. And I read what your wrote. And it's hard, but I'm here for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. For real.
No answers here, but I can say that I have lots of big why's that I haven't dared write. Not sure if you're into this type of thing, but here's a link to my favorite Mary Oliver poem that always seems to let me be okay with whatever is nagging at me.
