I know a very wise woman. She has been a rock for me the last couple of years. She struggles with MS and vulvodynia, but never ceases to amaze me. She always has excellent advice for me and recently sent me a message that I will continue to read for the rest of my life. I am posting it here simply for record and so that my girls can read it someday ;)
"For some of us like you and me, giving
is so much easier than receiving, to be gracious in receiving gifts from
others is an art. You have given me an unexpected opportunity to see
what it feels like to receive thanks and supportive words 'just
because'.
Thank you from the deepest recess of my heart. What a kind and loving
gesture. Much love to a wonderful mother who needs to know that you give to your
child far beyond what most healthy mothers try to give. They are so
blessed to have you as their Mom. Just remember that it is also
important for them to see you giving them the example of rest and self
care. Do not overdo. Take time to be. Easier for me to say than do but I
keep working toward this.
Love and prayers for you and your whole family. Gerry"
