So lately (as in the past couple of weeks) I have learned that life can throw you a sick curve ball. You think you are prepared for certain things, and then something that you TOTALLY were not expecting happens. I am usually pretty good at playing the cards I am dealt. But this time, not so much.
Fear has a funny way of grabbing you and holding on for dear life. Especially when it is something you are not really used to feeling. Normally I am not rattled easily. But I have to admit...this has me completely freaked out. I'm sure I am not the first person (or the last) who will ever experience this. However, when you are in the midst of it, it sure feels like you are alone.
One thing is for sure...you find out who is truly your friend. Throughout this experience, I have learned that certain people I thought were friends, really aren't. Yet, I have also discovered that certain people I thought could care less, might actually care. A little...
One more thing is for certain...I have an AMAZING family. The love they have for me is incredible. It is unconditional. It is forever. I find myself, at times, frustrated. Not really with them, but with myself. However, it is taken out on them...and they still remain steadfast by my side. Even when I least deserve it.
So life lesson number two...there are very few people who will show you unconditional love. But when you find it, grab it and hold on for dear life...
