Thank you so much every one of you for the thoughts, prayers, support, hugs and all the other things you've done to help me get through this.
I probably can't write about it much right now, but I think it went as well as it could have. I didn't get hysterical, although I definitely cried. She gave me a list of referrals with her notes about why each one was on the list for me. I can't look at it right now, but I will soon.
She also gave me the little figurine of an older woman sitting reading the Bible. It has been in her office for decades and it was the thing I traded her for last year when she was out when her husband died. She gave me two pictures of herself and her new house, along with her new address. She is going to take me out to eat for my birthday in a few weeks. We talked about grief and about how proud she is of me. And she told me she loved me.
I'm really sad, but not panicked the way I thought I would be. Maybe that fun part comes later, I don't know. But for right now, I'm okay.
Thanks again to all of you. I know I keep saying this, but I don't have words to express what each of you means to me.
