Over the past few months, I have relied on my friends, my family, teachers, counselors, and even some experts to help us through some tricky situations. I am not alone even though it sometimes feels like it. I am not alone because I have friends who send me one line emails - "Are you okay?" I am not alone because when I reach out to ask someone to check in on my kids or my husband, I know it will be done because I am part of a community that responds with an update, "I saw Maddy and she was reading a book, I saw Elliot and he as playing gaga, or I saw Perry today and gave him a birthday hug.
Thank you everyone for loving us and making sure that we know you are there. I am not alone because I have wonderful friends who help me be a better woman, wife, parent and in return I stand with you too!
Enjoy this post from last year about how my friends and I all help each other navigate the roads of Parentwood.
