Love is never gone

[faulhallen]

I’m sorry if this turns out utterly incoherent. I’m still not sleeping well, or enough and I think I’ve dozed off at my keyboard twice at work already despite copious amounts of caffeine...

So about a week ago I was home alone with my kids for the first time I can remember in ages. Usually my daughter goes with someone but for various reason neither my ex or her mother were places my daughter could be.

So I ordered pizza and we had a movie night. I let her choose between The Neverending Story and Disney’s new A Wrinkle in Time. I told her I loved the one as a child and the other is based on a book I read but don’t remember anything about but it’s about a girl trying to save her daddy. She chose a Wrinkle in Time and I have to say that I would recommend it to anyone with children. It is bizarre from beginning to end and Hays kind of the point and probably hard for children to truly follow but it has a very positive message about love from beginning to end.

It is hard to remember that we are loved when we don’t feel it. When your family is hundreds or thousands of miles away in some cases and your friends don’t seem to want anything to do with you.

But it is important to remember that that love never really vanishes. It is always there from a fleeting thought to a general feeling. I like to believe most of us at least have at least one person in their life who would drop everything to come see you or talk to you for hours if they were worried enough about you even if it doesn’t feel like it. They want to take the pain away and if we let them they can take a little away.

It’s easy to feel alone and unloved when you suffer from depression but know it isn’t so. If nothing else being part of this community means at least somebody cares even if you’ve never spoken.

I truly wish everyone in this group the best in all things. I hope you find what you are looking for, realize the amazing things you do have in your life, and work towards healing. Good luck and remember you are loved, even if it’s only a little bit, by someone.

You’re welcome! 🙂

I’m trying to come up with more but it’s not always easy.

faulhallen, I feel more love from this forum then I've ever felt in my life. Caring and supporting each other through our difficult times shows more love than those 3 little words can say. Wishing you well. Thanks for sharing
