Out of all the disappointment over the past couple weeks.....I still have to thank God for my blessings. I've really come to see the beauty of my friends. I feel blessed to have such a support network of people I know--- and even those I didn't think I was that close with. I received this email from a former classmate today:
Hey R,
If I'm reading the tealeaves right, you've not gotten any good news lately....
just wanted to let you know that someone out here (and I'm not alone I know) happens to think that you are a remarkable woman with real wisdom, character and integrity (a prodigy, actually!)
I hope you know that what you have here is a set-back; I think you have probably figured out that they crop up in life from time to time. Please don't lose faith in yourself; you will prevail!
She and I were never close per se, but she's always looked out for me on the little things--- inviting me to her graduation party, helping me with the job search--- when there was no reason for her to do it. I appreciate that. The email really touched me. I hope I can be half the friend to her that she has been to me.
