So it's been 8 months since my life was turned upside down...8 looong months and I've been thinking alot about what's happened since then...so let's take a look shall we?? Good!
8 months ago from Monday one of my best friends died...it rocked my world and my heart shattered (along with a rather large group of people). We knew it would take time to heal and that the hurt would be there for a long time. But about a week and a half previous to this, me and Chris entered into a relationship that would change the way I handled certain situations drastically. Having someone I knew would be there no matter what (even if I hadn't seen him in 3 years) and would listen to whatever I had to say and give some good advice definitly helped me handle things in a better way then I might have had I not had him there. So I've worked at Oaktree since August and I can't believe my first year is almost over. Those kids are amazing. They definitly made things a whole lot easier also. I have become very VERY close to Nicolie and I can honestly say that a friendship like ours might take some other people years to build. Chris came home in April for a 3 week visit...the best 3 weeks of my life! He left to go to Korea and it's been hard not having him here but I have all the support I need in my best friends!!
So I look back on the past 8 months and I thank God for the people He's put in my life because the past 8 months have been some of the hardest, most pain filled months of my life and yet because of the people in my life...it's been bearable. We've made it this far and I can say with certainty that we are going to make it through. The pain's gonna be there. We're gonna have really good days where we can just enjoy ourselves, we can laugh, and just have fun with the people we have in our lives. And we'll have horrible days where we can't think of anything but the pain we're still feeling and we'll cry and we won't know what to do. But we're gonna get through those days...I'm gonna get through those days because I know I have friends that I can go to who will lend me their shoulders anytime...and I want my friends to know that my shoulders available whenever too!!
