My friends are my lifeline to sanity and safety.  I could not survive without their help and support.

All these months that Bo’s been in and out of hospitals and rehab I’ve had the blessing of friends in our life that makes life wonderful.  Friends have shared themselves with massages, prayers, food, house cleaning, dog sitting, keeping the fires burning and much more.  Most importantly, just being present and loving us unconditionally is the best gift we can ever experience.

It takes trust from a caregiver’s part to allow ourselves to ask for help and recognize we just can’t do it all.  It turns out that friends have lots to offer at all times but especially in times of need.  If a friend offers to help in any way, go for it.  Allow yourself to acknowledge you need help.  It’s very liberating!  What I had to realize is that it was helpful to my husband also.  We forget that part where the caregiver and the care receiver are a team and both of us need help.

Bo and I are truly blessed with abundance of friends.  Our abundance is overflowing our hearts.

Life is not measured by the breath you take, but by the moments that take our breath away! Friends take my breath away every time I allow myself to trust and accept their gift of love.
