I was frustrated tonight that dinner plans changed, and I was worried about whether I could keep myself together emotionally. However, I ended up sharing honestly about how I was doing and why, and things ended up being amazing. It also turned out that one friend was also having a really hard time and hadn’t been able to share with anyone about it until tonight. And both friends did an amazing job at helping me take care of my baby. I was still on charge of her and caring for her, but they both spent some time holding her and managing where she was going and with what she was playing. It was a huge relief to be able to sit down for a little while and just stay seated, resting. And to be able to eat my food while it was fresh and warm. But it was also good to be in the company of people who understood, in their own way, and encouraged me regarding my struggles. The three of us are at very different places in our lives, but they somehow overlap just enough that we can all get it, whatever it is. (I hadn’t thought of that until just now. But that is very cool.)
