Afraid

I am afraid of what the future holds.
I am afraid that I am misunderstood more than understood.
I am afraid of the new year.
I am afraid that I am not strong enough.
I am afraid that I am making the wrong decisions and won't realize it until it's too late.
I am afraid I'll have regrets.
I am afraid I'll let you down.
I am afraid that I can't be all I need to be.
I am afraid to talk to God.
I am afraid to let go of the memories of what once was, or should I even let them go?
I am afraid of seeing someone I love very sick.
I am afraid of crying because once it starts I might not be able to stop.
I am afraid of holding on too tight.
I am afraid that things will never be the same again.
I am afraid of leaving one family to be with another.
I am afraid that while juggling I will drop a few of the balls, and that scares me.
I am afraid of not being the person I used to be.
I am afraid that I have walked so far away from my religion that I will never be able to get back.
I am afraid of having to rely on friends.
I am afraid of missing the little things, meaningless to others but meaningful to a Mom.

I hate that things are so rough for you right now.
And wish there is more that I could do to help.
But please do not be afraid of asking your friends
for help, that is what we are here for! And you are
stronger than you think you are *HUGS*

Be not afraid of life.

I know you can do this.

I am sorry the New Year is starting out with things so low; I know you are a strong lady, but no one wants to go through the illness of a parent. I hope things get better for you.

You can do this. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met. If you are afraid and need a hand to hold in the shadows, call me. I'll be a rock for you anytime.

I love you to the sky.

Dear sweet you, I am so sorry. I am virtually putting my arms around you and sending big hugs and lits of love. xoxo
