The End
So I guess that is it.
Wow.
I can't believe it is done.
In a way, I'm going to miss it. It has been an adventure the whole way. I wish I could say it has been pleasure, all the way. It hasn't. In the beginning, I was very leery about doing this, as I am sure I have said before.
I would never have done it without the support of my wonderful husband and as time went by, the support of my darling Zoey, my Auntie Sheila, Uncle Peter and of course Nicki.
They all assured me that by telling my story, I could possibly help someone who was going through the same shit that I was going through.
If any of you amazing people out there take anything from my story, take this.
You are not alone.
Even when I felt that the whole world had closed in on me and there was nothing left, there was.
I was not alone.
I had a whole group of people that not only were there for me, but who loved me and who would do anything to see that I was ok.
I realize sometimes that there seems like no other way out, but believe me, there is.
Even the darkest night can give way to the most glorious sunrise.
I was never alone. I just had to ask.
I look at these wonderful people now and I wonder what would there lives have been like without me.
Jay said it best...
"I would have no life."
To think that people love me so much brings me to tears.
I cherish every day I am alive and I cherish all those who are part of my life.
Just in case you may want to know.
