Cat, thank you for that beautiful post. It moved me to tears.
I have always had to dig deep to find the strength to get through what life threw at me. Sometimes, when it kept coming I would stumble a bit, but, come back stronger.
So, this time, for a little while, I had trouble getting back up. I knew I had to dig in a bit more.
But it was when I was down, that I began to see even more what I already knew - that I am loved, that I matter and that I can handle just about anything. That knowledge helped me get back up.
And you are right, Cat. All the things that have happened in my life, and there were some tough things, have prepared me for all this.
I see clearly what I have, how lucky I am, how bright my future can be.
