joy. when you miss him so you reach out to your best friend.

@JoyfulSilence I'll find a way through it. I appreciate the kind words, thank you. I'm incredibly blessed to have the most amazing, supportive people in my life, though I don't always count those blessings. Wish everyone had an empathetic set of arms to be wrapped around them. I pray the Father continues to comfort those who need it.

@KayraJordyn My support group is on here, to be honest. I do not have family near and we do not talk much. I have no friends other than on here. I am an atheist so have no spirits to turn to.

I'm glad you have people here, @JoyfulSilence. It's important to have that. I can't be blind to the fact that not everyone has what I have. But I do hope you find comfort and love, and that maybe one day you'll know God's love too. It's a choice, for most, to accept love; maybe it's not always a choice when it's family, haha, but it is in most situations.
