I started seeing a counselor today as part of my caregiver self care. It was wonderful. Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable here.

A friend told me this past year that even if you meet someone for but a moment, it was a moment to enrich someone's life and they have enriched yours. I'll never forget that. I have no doubt that you have enriched others during this time in Bellingham, and you have been enriched as well. I’m with you Christin on the former :) .

I pray God turns your thriving into rejoicing as you make your move. (And I know you still won't be anywhere near here, but if you find yourself in the area, let me know...I'd love to connect!)

As a military wife, I know that I won't be staying in any place for longer than a few years, and it is incredibly easy to fall into the attitude of "Why invest in relationships? Why try when I know I'll have to say goodbye?" I've had to force myself not to go down that lonely road, and instead, throw myself wholeheartedly into wherever we are, whomever we meet, to live each day and meet each person as if I never will have to say goodbye. Besides, the alternative is pretty miserable. I never would have met some of the best friends I have if I had lived under the fear of a goodbye. Thanks for your beautiful words! I just lover reading your writing and I am eagerly awaiting your book. I totally agree that it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all !

I've chosen to love, even though I know I'll lose someday...but that is life. And it's rich. And I'm grateful that in all the comings and goings, there are a few anchors; relationships that stay like rocks in the surf of change...family. Love you. Aunt Beth Tin, me too!
