I am thankful… For the ones in my life who have seen me at my best and seen me at my messiest worst and have stayed. They loved me in all things. God is number one in that. He is a real person to me, who sees everything and loves me still, and abundantly and lavishly. My husband is number two. He has now been with me for 27 years now; seeing me at my very best and at my ultimate worst and every iteration of that in between. He persistently and consistently loves me because he loves me.
There such a power in being seen for who you are and still loved; a power than enables us to go on to do better, to get up and keep on this journey.
There are very few who have seen all or most of me (good and bad) and loved me and stayed close. These people have not always been able to do anything to help me but they're consistent love (whether physically close or at a distance) has made the difference. And today I am especially grateful for these few people.
