One day at a time
It’s been a traumatic 24 hours in the life of yours truly but I’m relieved to say that it *looks* like everything is going to be ok. Unfortunately, I cannot go into any detail, but I can tell you that things have calmed down, I’m dealing with it all pro-actively, to the best of my ability and the situation does appear to be under control now.
Thank you to my friends and family and EVERYONE who has been so amazingly supportive today. I never expected such an outpouring of warmth and sympathy (and delightful promises of pina coladas!), especially from people online, most of whom I have never even met. Its been phenomenal. Each and every one of your hugs, phone calls, messages, comments and tweets has helped to hold me up today. It means the world to me and I am so grateful to be the recipient of such overwhelming support and friendship.
Things are by no means over. It’s going to be a long and difficult path back to peace, but I am confident that my beloved boy will get there. We are going to take it one day at a time, be kind to ourselves and allow for a few inevitable stumbles along the way. In the end, its progress that matters, not perfection and I just want to see him get through this cloud of darkness, step towards the light and move forward in his precious life.
Onwards and upwards, my friends xxx
