This week has been like none other. But the silver lining is that I have some pretty awesome friends and amazing family that I know I can lean on in times of crisis. Since Sunday I've been talking back and forth with friends from all different areas of my life and all of it has been healing. Some have gone through miscarriage; some have not. It doesn't matter... the bottom line is that I've been given countless ears and shoulders (and even a meal!) and I'm beyond thankful. If I had to process this all on my own, I would have crumbled. And when I did start to crumble, my friends were there to pick of the pieces and tell me that what that I'm feeling is normal, please feel it, and "we are here." I can't tell you the power in that. I'm blessed.
And the sincerity of family to take the kids, come over to help, and being there understanding, accepting, and grieving with me is powerful. I don't know what I did in life to be surrounded by such great people, but I'm not complaining. I only hope my kids grow up and have a strong support system like I have. This week would have been substantially harder if I had no outlet. If you are reading this: thank you, friends. You mean the world to me.

You know? I often ask myself that same question. "Why am I so blessed in friendship?" I don't know what I'd do without my friends. I have one to go to for all different situations, husband venting, spiritual advice, cooking, coupons, shopping. Blessed! I'm blessed to have met you too! (And you know what category you are in ;-) :-p
Other friends of Susie, "Comment unto others as you would have them comment unto you!" I'm starting to feel like a stalker here!!
