Today I ran into an old friend and we spent hours visiting. It was so wonderful to catch up. It reminded me of how far I have come. Some times I get caught up in "today" and forget about all the things I have overcome. It was nice to reflect back on good times and some not so good times. We agreed about how important our support systems have been. Church, community, friends, family and more. We really can't do it alone. This wonderful woman saw me through a difficult time in my life. She helped me read between the lines, holding my hand so to speak, validated me, reminded me and kept me grounded in "knowing what I know" she helped me through. We lost touch and got on with our lives and then years later connect and pick it up like no time had passed. T
