I'm so glad that you have had times when a friend has sat with you in the hard places.

I either have my face over a bag or toilet due to nausea, or my face is on my pillow all day for three days out of the month. Not too pretty at all :( It would take a special person to sit with me through my endo episodes :(Chavoshttp://confessionsofaletter.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-41769424040469729392014-10-23T18:06:37.003-04:002014-10-23T18:06:37.003-04:00This is beautiful, Rachel!

Experiences where someone has sat with me when they could have done something else have been some of the bright spots in an otherwise dark period in life. Just the feeling of absolutely unconditional friendship that is expressed in little moment like those... I always notice it, even if my brain fog prevents me from always remembering to say thank you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anastasia Rose<br />walk-in-the-rain-with-me.blogspot.comAnstasia Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-57106790043093736882014-10-23T17:44:59.654-04:002014-10-23T17:44:59.654-04:00When I am able to go to church, Will always sits w...When I am able to go to church, Will always sits with me when everyone else stands to sing. It makes it much less lonely for me, and I appreciate it so much.<br /><br /><br />William was 5 years old when he laid down next to me at church. It was so sweet, and I loved having him there with me. Lying on the floor alone is really awkward and lonely. Obviously most people can't enter into my world by lying on the floor with me after I faint. William, being 5 years old, was uniquely positioned to do that! And it was just what I needed.Rachel Lundyhttp://www.cranberryteatime.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-73491522346335269002014-10-23T16:46:29.974-04:002014-10-23T16:46:29.974-04:00Thank you, Amy.Thank you, Amy.Rachel Lundyhttp://www.cranberryteatime.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118510785451249376.post-20516649164858317932014-10-23T14:30:32.973-04:002014-10-23T14:30:32.973-04:00This is beautifully written, Rachel.
