The weekend

This is an incredible day today. My family are on the plane coming to see me. I am excited beyond all compare that this is happening. My family, the ones that understand me regardless of my behavior. This acceptance should be more available but is not always. I can feel safe to be me and not worry about judgment or mocking comments or gestures. This is more painful than what the illness can bring. Why should I worry about what people have to say? Having an illness like this has a stigma that is attached. I am well. I am fine; however, not everything is understood by others.

I am excited that my family will be here to simply be supportive. No matter what, the fears will be calmed for a season. My fears will be calmed and acceptance replaced. No matter what, it will be well. No one should be made to feel that they do not have a refuge even for a season. I understand that others' feelings and motives are not mine and I should not be made to feel that way--classic transference.

Pushing on. Pressing on. Feeling on.

  1. I am so happy for you! This is very exciting! I agree it's great to have family around especially at times like this. Family is supposed to love you unconditionally and accept you for who you are.

    Have fun with the reunion and enjoy this time with fam :) Take care 'coz I care! Much blessings....
