Well, I am fully back to being an American. I am driving my car, using my credit card and eating normal food. I have to admit, I don't regret coming back home...not even for one second. I don't have a place to live just yet and seem to be doing my laundry at various places (mainly my Mom's house and Maggie's), but heck, I still have a lot to figure out and its going to take some time.
All of my friends have been incredibly supportive. I've stayed with Staci a ton, Cathy and Maggie for a week, my Mom and Dad's one night, Susan's for a night, with Sue and Dean in Washington D.C. for a weekend and am off to Vermont to stay with Laryn and then to Seattle to hang with Heather. Everyone's support, love and empathy has been so uplifting during this difficult time. Every single one of my friends have come together, in their various ways, to wrap their arms around me...you all are helping me mend my broken heart and broken spirit. You all have been so willing to listen, digest and process with me. You've all sacrificed hours on the phone, countless cups of coffee, afternoon's and evenings face to face listening to me talk and cry...and yet you all believe in me now more than ever. All I can say is thank you! I can only hope to one day return the favor and offer you all the love, support and empathy that you've so easily and graciously given to me. Thank you.
I have a new telephone number, but am keeping the same email address (email me for the new phone number). Please contact me at your earliest convenience (that means you too Mike, I would love to talk about our struggles in school and life)! Thanks again for all of your posts, calls, emails, cards and letters. It all means so very much to me. I have a new perspective on life and friendship after all of this and value each and every one of you. Thank you.
