It's fantastic that that Katrina-Ariel's magical gift of a letter and the crystals came right when you needed it the most! (What an absolute sweetheart! 💕 🤗)

I can imagine your voice singing your 'I've got mail' song! 😁 That you were able to feel that spark of YOU again is priceless.

The stress that caregivers are under, that you are under, is immense. The isolation and removal from their routines leads many to suffer from feeling a loss of identity. I've read a few stories where people have had to schedule in time for themselves (not just for sleeping, showering or eating) to do something that is purely for themselves in order to reclaim their sense of self. (Unfortunately, the ones that I read did sacrifice an hour of sleep in the morning to achieve this.) But it isn't just that, contact from friends and loved ones is VITAL in supporting a caregiver.

Love you and I'm so damn happy that your friend was able to warm you and make you smile and feel like you again! 🤗
