I am sort of a closet meaning movement reader. So many times I have read your posts and they have brought me to tears. Sadly, so many times I have wanted to thank you for your words and I just never manage to get to a computer to put my thoughts in order as a comment. I grapple with so many of the things you write and pour your intentional thoughts into, but I struggle putting it all together in my head because now I am and mom and don’t have the head space for it all when the needs of kids and home pull harder and distract me Point is, you help me with that. Thank you.

My heart has been breaking for the three of you. I have said many prayers and will continue as you all adjust and face the unknown ahead. I got my Georgia about three years ago as an intentional part of brining myself back from a dark place that nobody seemed to understand I was in at the time. She healed me in ways I never knew possible, and brings me so much joy and laughter everyday. We are alone together most everyday now that both my kids are in school, I have no idea what I would do without her. Like Lina, Georgia is my constant companion and silent presence that makes an enormous difference in not feeling so isolated on a daily basis.

Prayers and all my love to you three. I may not be commenting, but I am certainly reading! Thank you!
