Wonderful Things People Say

Since I had the stupid list, I figure its only fair to put the wonderful list too:

• I don't understand what you are going through, but I am sure trying, help me to understand.
• I love you.
• I trust you. You know the way out of this hell.
• I know what I am asking of you, but please take care of yourself.
• I am not sure I can handle facing what you have been through - its too hard and I am afraid I will be too angry, or I will lose my testimony, or... (Although you would think this would be on the stupid list, it shows me that you know what I am going through. It shows me you are capable of understanding, you are humble, and one day the Lord can strengthen you to face it just like He has strengthened me.)
• It wasn't your fault. NONE of it was your fault.
• Crying when I told them my story. It helped me see that it was ok for me to be sad and upset about the things that have happened.
• I won't force you to do anything, but I want you to...
• I am just thinking of you...
• Its ok to cry. Its ok to be angry. Its ok to feel all of this.
• You are amazing, courageous, strong, brave, and you'll get through this.
• I am praying for you.
• You'll feel this way again. (I was feeling really happy - I was afraid if I went to bed, the feeling would change. I didn't want to let it go.)
• Its ok if you just want to stay in bed. I would want to stay in bed too.
• You are not crazy - you are sorting things out.
• Look at all of the progress you have made. (I really like it when they shared the progress they had seen.)
• What can I do to help you get through this?
• They held me.
• You are beautiful - you are not disgusting, gross, weird, crazy, selfish, etc.
• Thank you. You helped me.
• If you don't feel like it, you don't have to do it.
• I know you are trying and fighting hard. I can't imagine what you are going through.
• This sucks. Its not fair.
  
• You deserve joy in your life, and you will have it.
• I am so glad you are alive today. You touch my life.
  

And so to each of you who have said wonderful things - and the truth is there are many, MANY more:

THANK YOU!!
