I'm still kinda freaked out

Mar 25, 2005 09:06

So yesterday Janice said, "Are you feeling better today?" And I admitted that I didn't. "Something's wrong but I don't know what it is." The anxiety sorta morphed into dread as the morning went on.

I don't consider myself a particularly emphatic person so I was pretty shocked when Kim messaged me around noon to tell me about her husband being killed in a car accident. Well, I would have been shocked anyway, but...when it clicked that "I know what was wrong now" I was pretty surprised.

Kim honey, I can't imagine your loss. I mean, I have to deal with the pain of being away from the person I love all the time, but I know I will eventually see him again. And some day, he'll get off the road and we'll be together all the time. I can't imagine not having that hope.

But I sincerely and honestly do have this hope for you...You will find love again. Or more precisely, it will find you. You will share a wonderful beautiful, albeit very different bond with another person. I know it. I know it as clearly and definitively as I knew something was wrong yesterday morning.

Cry, grieve, feel hopeless and overwhelmed for a while...maybe a long while. But it won't last forever because God has plans for you and those plans include love. And your friends and I aren't going to let you miss out on those plans. Okay?!

*hugs*
