Just married!

This is Vivian (91) and Alice (90), and they just got married. They’ve been dating for 72 years, and together they have visited all 50 US states, all the provinces of Canada, and been twice to England. Quote Alice: “We’ve had a good time”.

Soooo I recently posted something here about the really difficult stuff I’ve been going through, and a couple of amazingly kind, generous people got in touch with my best friend and anonymously donated money to help me out.

I’m so incredibly touched and grateful, you guys, I don’t even have words to express it.   When you go through that kind of experience, it’s easy to internalize the idea that you don’t matter to people, or aren’t worthy of their compassion, so the kindness of this really blows me away.  It’s a huge help in a practical sense, but it’s also really meaningful to me, and I appreciate it so, so much.

Thank you, anonymous friends!!  You are wonderful people.

When you meet someone who tries their hardest to stick by you regardless of how difficult you are, keep them. Keep them at all costs because finding someone who cares enough to look past your flaws isn’t something that happens every day.

Family are the people who embrace you with open arms, no matter what. They can see the pain in your eyes, even when you’re fooling everyone else. Family’s about laughing louder, smiling bigger, and living better. Family’s like fudge. Mostly sweet, with a couple of nuts. And although we’re not related by blood, we’re bonded by something much stronger. Love.

For a star to be born, there is one thing that must happen:
                           a gaseous nebula must collapse

So collapse. 
               Crumble.
                           This is not your destruction.

                                                                                           This is your b i r t h.    -n.t
