I, for one, would definitely consider myself a loner and self reliant and dependant person by nature. Like many, I left home to attend college at 18 and never returned to my "mother's den." On this trip to New Orleans, I was actually overwhelmed by the support and love I have from my family and when I reflect on it, that love is greatly missed. No more are the days that I go weeks without calling home just to see how things are going with my mother and siblings. Family can be one of the greatest support systems anyone could ever have if they just stop for a minute to see. I would encourage any of you out there who are consumed with the daily hassles of life not to get so devoured by career, home, and family, that you can't appreciate family. Mom cooked gumbo just for me. There was one of my favorite desserts waiting as well and all this to say, It's going to be OK.
I also spoke of friends earlier. Well the clients that I work with are just as important to me than anything and in this case, they proved to be just like family. Take a look at the gesture of this beautiful flower that was given to me today. It means a great deal because someone took time out to say, "hey, it's going to be OK and we care about how you're doing".
