My brother's service was today. The amount of love in

My brother's service was today. The amount of love in one room was overwhelming. I looked around at all of my mom's long time friends, my brother's long time friends, my long time friends, and of course family, and was filled with so much gratitude. It felt like I was physically drawing strength from them just being around me. My brother was there, in every hug and laugh and tear. I thought I would feel nothing but depletion after today, but I feel warm and full, though exhausted. I have a lot to be grateful for, including all the years I had with my big brother.

Sending you prayers! Keep your head up. I’ve always missed life when I was messed up cuz I kept my eyes to the ground like I was constantly searching for something. Now I actually look up and look people dead in their eye and it feels good. You seem to be doing great tho keep up the great work!
