This is what friendship looks likešš¼
I am currently walking through the hardest season of my life, and as Mamaās we feel like weāve always gotta put on our big girl pants and just muscle through. Never let āem see you sweat, right? Oh girlā¦if thereās one thing this season has taught me, itās that that sort of lie is terribly dangerous to believe.
I needed my people today. I thought I just needed to call them up and cry about what was happening, and then while on the phone, my sweet friend asked me such an important question. She asked me to just say what I needed and wanted most.
I told her that I didnāt want to be alone.
Her response :: āIām on my way.ā
I started in with all of the reasons she couldnāt and shouldnāt comeā¦ āMy house is a disaster.ā āI donāt want to burden you.ā āItās such a long drive.ā
Her response :: āSister, I donāt care about any of that. You said you donāt want to be alone, so Iām coming.ā
Not only did she make the trek from Greeley to Fort Collins, but she picked up another sweet friend along the way. They picked up lunch, they walked into my house, gave me the biggest hugs, and asked āWhat can we do?ā
My disaster of a house? They helped me clean it, and assured me it wasnāt that bad. They let me cry, they made me laugh, we listened to music, and most importantlyā¦
I. Wasnāt. Alone. š
Mama, if youāre going through a rough seasonā¦know that you donāt have to do it by yourself. You donāt even have to know what you need ā just start by asking to not be alone.
I know there is someone in your life who will say to you āIām on my way,ā if only youād ask.
And Mama if you have a friend who you know is going through it, just offer to come and be there with her. Actually donāt offerā¦just tell her youāre coming.
Because I guarantee she wants that more than anything, and sheās having a hard time being able to say it.
Praying for all of you walking the tough roads right nowā¦whatever that may look like for you, know that youāre not walking it alone! We love you, Mama! š
