Note to Self... Do Not Facebook in Walmart

So there I was in the check out line at my least favorite place on Earth...Walmart. The line was ridiculously long and one of the few open so I find myself waiting and bored... because I am extremely ADD.  What better to do than pull out the phone to check Facebook.

HOLY CRAPOLA!!!!!

I could never have imagined the outpouring of support from family and friends that I found.  The comments and  the personal messages that people chose to share with me were so uplifting and moving.  I began reading them and crying in the Walmart line.  Now those of you that read the whole blog... (WHICH PEOPLE TOTALLY DID.. THEY TOLD ME... MIND... BLOWN :) ) you people know I'm no stranger to crying in public... I just tally up the Walmart lady as one more person that thinks I'm nuts, but I totally don't care.  These weren't sad tears. These were seriously happy ones. I felt overwhelmingly supported and loved.

I can not thank all of you enough for taking the time to read my post, the blog (over 4,000 views in 2 days!) , for commenting or for sending me messages.  For even liking the post... holy cow.. over 300 people just liked it as a sign of support.. I wish I could like your likes right back.

Those that privately messaged me and shared your own struggles and stories, please know how honored I am that you are trusting me with them.  You have been absolutely inspirational to me.

Those that just messaged us kind words and support. Thank you!

I really feel that the sharing of this blog has been life changing.  I feel as though a huge weight (like 50 elephants wearing cement shoes kind of weight) has been lifted off of my shoulders.  As much as I say I am giving it to God, I haven't.  I am clinging to it and desperately trying to fix it myself.  The truth is I can't. I felt moved to finally share our story and the response has helped me see that we are not alone and have all of the support in the world.

Please know if any of you are in need of support for anything I would welcome the opportunity to return the favor.   You have all changed our path for the better!
