Hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a great day :) We're having a really positive day, and feeling so hopeful, for many things :) It's one of our favorite days and traditions too, sweet treats tuesday :) the past couple tuesday's have been holiday's, with Christmas and new year's holiday. it was so nice, getting to go out to get treats this morning, with my mom, Lisa, Alyssa, and we had a special surprise call during our adventure too, Holly called me! :) Awww! :) This morning, we had some light snowfall in our area, that turned to rain. i was up early and gathered a big bowl of goodies, for our nature friends, putting lots of treats in our backyard for them :) it was a peaceful morning :) i made a blueberry iced coffee :)
my mom, Lisa, Alyssa, and i went over to dunkins and mcdonalds to get treats :) we were at the drive-thru, at mcdonalds, and all of a sudden my phone rang, it was Holly!!! :) awww! :) She and i wished eachother a good morning :) She sounded much better, and was in great spirits :) She said, she got a full night's sleep :) We're so glad :) She said, she had therapy last evening/night, including a challenge. they have challenges in the therapy :) She said, she ate some popcorn, and apple sauce :) it's really good for her :) She also said, she joined the music therapy area there, and got to select 2 songs :) Holly loves her music :) She said to say hi to everyone, and sends her love :) She sounded so strong, upbeat this morning, and in great spirits :) She said she's drawing a green&purple heart for me :) Awww! :) This is so nice, and sweet of her :) our favorite colors, are green&purple :) i told her we mailed her some envelopes, including 2 more today, with some nice pictures i printed :) She's so excited to recieve her envelopes soon :) my mom, Lisa, and Alyssa said a group hi to Holly :) She said, "happy swee treats tuesday" :) She sounded so well this morning,and ready for the day :) She and i both love,and are happy that she's making the calls out, when she has time to talk, so that she knows she is able to talk for a bit more :) This morning, she and i talked for 11 minutes, it was great! :) she was even on the phone with me when we arrived home, and bluejays were singing in our yard :) She said, "nature love!" :) That's my Holly! :) She and i love nature! :) it was great! :)
It sure was a wonderful joy, hearing Holly's voice this morning, talking, while we went out to get treats :) i told her we're so proud of her, and we're with her every step :) that means so much to her :) she feels all of the love, and is so thankful we're by her side :) it was an extra sweet, sweet treats tuesday going out to get treats, and getting a call from Holly :) She said, they were getting ready for meds/breakfast and the dr. checking her stomach condition today :) a special thank you for our dear and lovely friends Donna (IDonna), and her family, for the nic mcdonalds gift card they sent us for Christmas :) we used our gift card :) for sweet treats tuesday today, my mom got a breakfast sandwich, Lisa and Alyssa got coffees/lattes, and i got a breakfast burrito :) i'm also enjoying my blueberry iced coffee :) CHEERS!!! to family, friends, to Holly's healing journey, to the best of good health for us all, and to enjoying the wonderful simple joys in life :)
We're all feeling positive, hopeful, and making the most of each day :) i'm so thrilled we got some nice envelopes out in the mail, to Holly, and mailing more tomorrow :) my new printer is very nice :) i installed it yesterday evening :) it works really well :) i printed some pictures for Holly, some of our favorite pictures that means a lot to both our hearts :) i'm putting together some sweet cards for her, with love, care, support, encouragement :) i'm also writing special thank you cards for friends :) it's gonna be so nice, going to the post office tomorrow :)
Doing Ok :) as all of these current times have been going on, my family, friends, even Holly, asking me how i'm doing overall. it's a feeling of wonderful comforting, to know everyone is there :) it's been lots of change, it truly has been. i think change can affect us in so many ways. i've been doing probably best, that someone can possibly do, during times like this. i know i've been mega strong, through everything, but i also know, it's good to let my emotions, feelings be felt. i know being mega strong, positive for Holly, her family, and for myself has been a must, during these times, but as i am human, i know emotions, feelings, definitely come up to the top of my heart at times. i've been worried, wanting Holly to be ok, and have been missing her a lot, especially the times of the day where she and i usually spent time together, and of course, missing our fun party's at night time. i know i need to be strong, patient, and i have, and to give Holly and her family, and my family and friends, my very best, with everything, thru these times. i know change happens in life, and adapting to it, best way we can, is all we can do sometimes, no matter if we fear change, it happens.
i know the daily routines, have changed a lot, with both Holly and i, and our days. We're keeping strong together, and keeping positive, and moving forward :) Holly and i definitely want our talk times, party's, all of our special sharings back again, once she's thru all of these times. Talking with my family, and Holly, and our friends, is helping a lot:) texting with friends, and Holly's family, keeping everyone updated. it's been a lot of adrenaline moments, it truly has, where i'm in full support mode, writing notes, awaiting updates, and sharing, updating her family, my family, and our friends. there's also the times, that are quiet, that usually aren't quiet, as Holly and i are so use too being together, so those quiet times, sometimes i get a bit lonely, sad, i feel a little off, or a little numb, like i mentioned, it truly feels like half of me is waking up into each day, and the other half of me is with Holly, and i believe she feels the same. We're so a part of eachother's hearts, and our days, and our lives. i'm so thankful for the times Holly and i have gotten to talk, and times when i've gotten to talk with my family, friends, writing here on ds :) it's very helpful :) i've been trying to lay down after 9pm, and going to sleep around 10:30pm, as that's when Holly said, it's bedtime at the Sheppard Pratt unit :)
i'm focused on a lot of things. Holly's health, my health, her getting better, being by her side, and helping her on her eating disorder healing journey, every step. all of the times we'll get to share :) it's been a big impact on my heart, and spirit,all that's been going on. i know the holiday's were recently, but it feels like a blur sometimes, all that's gone on, and happened, and rolling with the times, and going on's, best i can :) i'm not usually use too asking for support, it can be hard for me to reach out. i'm use too being the supporter, so it's been different for me. writing, talking, it's helping me cope with all of the change, and knowing i'm not alone, and everyone is pulling for both Holly and i, to remain so strong, through each hour, and each day :) our strong bond, and connected, 2 hearts that beat as 1 :) i think i've done fairly well, with everything, especially keeping strong and positive for Holly :) when she and i talk, she's said at times, "keep strong, stick with me" and i tell her, "all the way" :) we're tight like that with our strong bond :)
i know times ahead, may be a bit different too, with all that's going on. i think accepting to my heart, that things won't be exactly like they were before right now, is best way to approach each day,and adapting to new times, and things going forward :) a dear friend mentioned to me, that it's natural, to have emotions, feelings, and anxieties about things changing. i'm trying to not worry about things, so that when Holly and i are in the new times, i just want to gel, and be a part of her new times, that will become normal for both her and i, at the same time :) i always told her before all of this, that this path she's on, she's leading the way, no matter which route the path goes, i'm with her every step :) we've always stuck strong together :) writing, sharing my thoughts, feelings, and emotions is helping me a lot :)
We're having a good sweet treats tuesday :) my family, Holly,and i are doing ok, keeping strong, positive, and we'recherishing and treasuring all of the love, care, and support, from you and your family's :) Thank you all, for being here for us :) We'll always be here for you all too :) We're keeping motivated, determined, and looking forward each day :) i'm finishing up a really nice heart-felt writing week :) i've got letters, cards, all set, and ready to be mailed tomorrow :) We'll be going to the post office early :) i always have my phone next to me, as Holly could call any time :) i told Holly, please call anytime you can, when time is free for you to call :) they share 1 phone there, so the timing of the calls is big, and we usually get between 8 and 10 minutes to talk. We're keeping on keeping on, each day, and looking forward to many more times :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, and for always being by our sides :) We love you all bunches and bunches, and we deeply appreciate you all, very much :) Big group warm caring happy friendship hug :) There's many more good times, and good things to look forward too, with family, Holly, friends, nature, and blossoming into more times this new year :)
