For my 53rd birthday, I received the gift of truth. For as long as I can remember, I believed I was unlovable. Since my accident, I have been shown differently. People's goodness continues to flow towards me. The relief in their faces when they see that I am alright. The heart felt notes. Weekly breakfast and dinner drop offs, chicken soup deliveries and flowers galore. A new bonding with my mother and youngest brother. It's amazing the levels of healing that can take place at this time for me. In the face of this much love and support, I can no longer say to myself I am unlovable.
Thank you Linda and Maura for the wonderful meal in celebration of my birthday. Thank you Vince for the vibrant bouquet of flowers. Thank you Julie for the dozen red roses. Thank you Karla for the photo of my climber self in the Tetons. Thank you Mom for all your gifts. Thank you Matt for my MonkeyMan statue. Thank you Dotty for the music and money. Thank you Joanne and Jerry for the new journal and music. Thank you all for your help, cards, flowers and sincere concern for my well being. It also takes a village to create and heal a person.
