i've read them over and over. it feels so good to be understood. from my heart, i want to thank you for stopping to encourage me. it's still very surreal and the hurt keeps coming over me in waves, but the healing process has already begun. like you said, it will take time. i am clinging to the fact that this came in His perfect timing, and that He is the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles. (2 corinthians 1.3)
