Thank you all so much. What incredible love I have for you all. I just had a very cathartic cry and talk with my dad. Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore him and his wisdom and gigantic heart. He came over, patted my shoulder, cried with me, and told me that I am his world, and that families always understand when one of the legs that hold up the table gets knocked out of whack. The rest come in, support it, glue it, and hold it till it gets strong again. I can't explain how stunned to my core I was to hear him say that he admires ME, and that my ability to fall apart and get back up to fight another day was so amazing to him. He gave me a little crooked smile, a big hug, and a kiss on the head, then said, "God hasn't forgotten about you, sweetie. Maybe He just needs you to stop trying so hard on your own and ask Him for a little help." Then Thing 2 came out and told me that Thing 1 was asleep, and that she thought that I may just need another kiss and a hug. What incredible love... I am blessed beyond measure. *Signed, a very tear-stained, stuffy-nosed redhead*
