: I was just thinking about how lucky I am. I have a neighbor who makes my favorit dinner because she heard me throwing up all night. I have a friend who let me cry like a baby when I am in pain and talks to me until I fall asleep even though he has to read a whole book before school the next day (at midnight no less). I have a neighbor who, knowing I was gone, heard Buddy barking, growling, and making a fuss, and instead of getting mad, came over to see what was upsetting him and found the screen on my back door had been cut. I have a friend who brings me things she knows I need because she knows I don't always have the money to buy them. I have a friend who is willing to cry and make herself vulerable at the thought of my dying. I have a pastor who can lead me into worship even when I feel like my heart is a block of solid ice. I have a dog who will eat someone who is trying to break in and yet is so caring he lies beside me while I am sick. I have friends who stick by me even when I isolate myself. I have a doctor who cares enough to see I get the treatment I need even though I can't afford it. I have a God who loves me when I am at my most unloveable.
: Thank you
Yup, He's pretty nice to have around, huh? Here's a long-distance hug. I can't begin to describe how much I appreciate the things you have to say, Terri. I pray for you always.
