Staying positive and being grateful for the positives in my life!
Since my blog was posted, I received numerous responses from my friends and networks thanking me for my honesty in sharing my story. This is the first time I’ve openly shared my story on a public platform. Many were simply shocked and said they thought incidences like mine only happen in the movies! Well, I can tell you that it’s not as entertaining in real life, that’s for sure…
So today, I want to say a BIG thank you to all the people in my life – the genuine, sincere, compassionate human beings I’ve been blessed to have met on my “adventure”. These are the people who have stood by me and my child through our nightmare, our ordeal, and never gave up on us. In showing my gratitude, I want to make sure I acknowledge all these amazing, special gems whom I love and care about dearly and whom I would, without any hesitation, do anything within my power to help should the need ever arise. I wish I could name all these special people, but sadly, because of my circumstances, I can’t. However, these special individuals will ALWAYS have a place in my heart. You know who you are!
Sometimes when I pause to reflect upon my life (or when my PTSD flares up), I can’t help but wonder if those bad / evil events happenned to us to allow me to be able to meet the good people. After all, we can only see the stars shine at night, in darkness, and not during the daylight. Either way, I am very grateful and I look forward to meeting many more wonderful human beings in my current (and future) journey.
Thank you 😊
