Karen and Tanya took care of me here in Calgary yesterday. Many of you called and took care of me from afar. I thank God that I am able to have people in my life that surround me with love and genuine care. 

Karen showed up with larges popsicles I have ever seen in my life for a visit yesterday afternoon. The boy played and we talked. Humans are made for one another. I truly think that we have NO other reason for being on earth…we are here FOR each other…to help each other…and yesterday I felt that and saw that in my life.

Tanya came at dinner time with a beautiful potted plant and adorable card for our family, welcoming us to the neighborhood…and reminding us that transition was difficult…and PROMISING that ONE day the sun witll come out in Calgary.  I am blessed that these two women have relocated many times before and TRULY “GET IT”. They know my fears, my feels of abandonment, and I know their promises of it feeling “normal” one day will be realized.

My day started sad and became better and better. The phone rang with familular voices from home, popcicles, flowers, and blog notes…… and some  how, some way….I felt surrounded by love, both here and there…….I realized that the hand that I try to extend to others was extending back to me….and it comforted me when I needed it most.

Thank you. From my heart….thank you.

Anne
