May God give us the kinds of friend that will stand by us, when we need them.
"Regina Daniels said I needed a break. At first, I didn’t want to go out. I was tired—tired of crying, thinking too much, and feeling like everything was falling apart. But I followed her anyway.
When we got to the club, the music was loud, and people were looking at me. I could hear their thoughts.I wanted to leave, but Regina held my hand. 'Let go,' she said, pulling me to the dance floor. I didn’t know how to, but I followed her.
Then something happened—I danced. I smiled. Maybe for the first time in a long time, I felt alive. No, the pa!n didn’t go away. But in that small moment, I felt light again.
Healing will take time. But that night, I took the first step. I will be okay, even if it’s just for my children."~ Annie Macaulay
