Hey all! I’m so sorry I’ve been gone so long! I’ve been out with the flu and other bugs! This month has not been going well! I am so sorry I’ve been gone so long!

Can you guys keep the Brown family in your prayers?
          Lane Brown, the Browns’ brother/son committed suicide about a week ago. He was a really dear friend of mine and I don’t think anyone was aware he was going through depression. We just had his funeral Sunday, but are still in a little shock. He was in college and had only just come to truly know the Lord.

@MeriLewis Of course! I am so sorry! No one deserves to go through that and it is really painful! Depression is silent. It is so hard to tell if someone is going through it, especially if your not consistently around them. Maybe I haven't gone through this, but I know what it's like to lose someone close! It is heartbreaking and can make you question alot of things, but trust me it will get better. Don't be afraid to mourn though. You and Lane's family have to know it's okay to not be Ok right now! Sometimes we try to rush our grief, but pain demands to be felt! (Ok, yeah I might be quoting Fault In Our Stars Here but it's SOOOO True!) It's ok to be a mess and to cry. It's ok to need a hug or someone to talk to! There are people to love on all of you! <3 I am here to talk if you need someone! Just never lose Hope though! That is essential to our will to keep going! Once that is lost we just give up! So cry but never feel hopeless or completely abandoned Ok! Praying for you and The Brown Family and You have a Wattpad Friend in Me!

Thank you so much for supporting me! I don’t really have a lot of people I know at the church I’m going to besides the Browns since I’m relatively new here, so it’s nice to know that I have at Least one person keeping me in their thoughts and supporting me. Thank you so much!!!

@MeriLewis I am so sorry for your loss, and I know that- from experience- that that isn't helpful, but I want you to know I am always here if you need to talk about it. Remember,  don't stay and too long, because he wouldn't like to hear of himself causing you such pain.

Thank you guys so much for your encouragement that I saw you gave me in my work. I’ve been dealing with depression for the past few months and so I haven’t been writing. I’m so sorry for making you wait and I will continue writing.
