A big thank you!

Over the last few months there has been a lot going on in my families life, I am not going to share what has been going on, this blog post isn't about that it's about me saying thank you to the amazing people which have been there for me.

There has been the professionals which have our backs. They have been quick to respond when they were needed, a phone call away and one in particular is going to get a bunch of flowers from me for going above and beyond to support us.

We have had people in real life, who are local go out of their way to help us. They didn't really know us but came running when help was needed. They have been keeping an eye on us and being there when they can since. A lovely guy had something to tell us but didn't want to knock at our door until he had seen Stu come home from work in case it scared my girls and I. It's thoughtful little things like that which have warmed my heart. 

My dad of course has been amazing! He knew what to say when I was sobbing down the phone to him, he has made phone calls on my behalf, sent his partner to sit with me when I needed a bit of company and a distraction and done lots of other things to keep us safe and happy. I feel so lucky that we live so close to him. He rushed here one evening and I have honestly never seen his old car move as fast. lol

Then there has been you, readers of my blog and other bloggers. You have kept me going when things have been really bad. 

There was a woman who offered practical advice with links where I could find support for my family. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have rang a number which resulted in me getting some answers when I felt totally lost and in total despair.

Another blogger friend has been a total rock to me. She has been there just to listen to my rants. I knew I could always go to her to chat but was worried I was bothering her but this week has just proved what a true friend she is. 

I have received emails from the US and Australia, letting me know people are thinking about me and my family. Just knowing people are thinking about us boosted my mood. Kind words and prayers were more than enough to make me smile when I really needed it. I am not a religious person but to know someone is praying for you and your family is something special.

Thank you for your continued support. Our dramas might not be over anytime soon but I don't feel so alone now knowing that I have such a strong support network!
