I know I already posted today but I just needed to again. I am sad tonight.
Work was tough today... little kids should not have to go through some of the horrible things they go through. That put me in a funk to start.
I was planning to go to the gym this evening, but really am not up for it. I started thinking, and the thing I really feel like doing is calling up a friend and grabbing a cup of tea or something. I then realized that I have absolutely NO ONE to call. Not one friend to just call up out of the blue. Sure, there are people I could call... most of them have kids and will be putting them to bed and unable to pick up and leave. The rest are kids that I could have babysat growing up, or church members that are like 40 years older than us. I don't have any peer friends who are safe to get together with right now. That sucks. Like that sucks so much!
The other sad thing is the loss of Mo's precious baby Nadav. There's a lot of blog love going around for them! I guess I am super encouraged to see the amount of support and love being sent their way from the ALI community. I am actually shocked by it. It has made me appreciate, even more, the people who have come into my life through these blogs. Though I have not met any of you face-to-face, you have been such an important part of my life and my journey. I can't imagine how lonely I would feel right now without you. I wish we all had the kind of support that we find here in our real lives, but if we don't, I'm so glad we have each other.
I'm sorry you feel lonely! I feel like I have no friends either. At least you have us!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate those kinds of friend-related revelations. :(
ReplyDeleteIt has been wonderful to see the community rallying for Mo even though it is under such tragic circumstances. It just shows how this really is a community, not just a collection of people who blog about trying to get pregnant.
I feel you. It's hard to figure out where we fit peer wise anymore (IRL at least. It's much easier in the blog world.)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. Yes, I am so glad I have you!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do that you're working with kids going through what they shouldn't have to?

Hey Kechara, thanks for stopping by. I am a counsellor and right now I work with sexual abuse victims and children with sexual behaviour problems. I took a brief look at your blog... looks like you're a therapist too?
