A few weeks ago my mum made me a series of appointments with an old friend of hers. They'd bumped into each other somewhere, swapped phone numbers and chatted about this that and the other. It turned out that the friend used to have M.E., recovered and was now an alternative therapist using the therapies that had helped her the most. My mum thought

I think you are very brave for writing about this, I can't imagine how traumatic it must be for you. You were nine years old, Rosa, and you did everything you could. I know I wasn't there and I only know what you've said here, but I'm basing my judgment on that.

Sending love, sweetheart. xx

Thanks, I know you're right. When you said that I got this image in my mind of telling some young girl to deal with someone dying and I realised that's just such a crazy ammount of responsibility for anyone to take on.

Really thanks for replying though, it did actually feel like a big bold and brave thing to write about.

Thanks for sharing that. I know writing about it even now would drag up some pretty horrible stuff you've buried somewhere far away in your mind.

I'm glad you shared it, though. It's out and it's made people aware of the things life has given you to go through. I feel like I know you better just by reading this post.

You're always on my mind as one of the most bravest (if thats a word) people born and placed on this little World of ours. You're taking the right steps to recovery and I'm proud you're able to do that :).

WOW, I never knew you thought that about me :)

I'm glad I shared it too, and I'm glad you saw it. I remember reading some of the things you've shown me over the years, and I always felt I knew you better from those things.

I've still got a lot to work out inside of me, but I'm taking steps to move forward------>
