There’s something about losing someone that makes you hesitant to hold on to others just as hard. Maybe it’s a consequence of loss or maybe it’s just me.
Either way I did something this weekend that helped me make it through one of my hardest days of the year. Saturday was my mom’s death anniversary and I wrote a piece the night before that ends with one of the most vulnerable paragraphs I’ve probably ever written.
It took me most of Saturday to decide whether or not I was going to share it on Facebook, but then I did and something pretty spectacular happened. Friends who knew what Saturday meant to me, felt comfortable enough to text me about it.
I got so many texts, emails and Facebook comments, and I felt the love.
I’m not the kind of person to share every aspect of my life on social media, who knows if I’ll ever be. But, every so often social works its wonders because it shows people that you’re receptive to hearing from them and receiving their love.
A special thanks to all those who sent me their love on one of my dark days.
