This is so beautiful, too! And yes, I believe in it completely.<br /><br />It gave me goosebumps reading your stepdad did "something magical" too. We have angels watching over us.

I am glad to hear though that my story has touched you; I can only hope that this can somehow help you make sense of things. Hold on, Jon. There is light to be discovered in this, I promise you.

I teared up on “He wants you to know he is watching over you.” My stepdad passed away nearly three years ago and I have been in that very dim room too, as you were, for a time. And he did something magical like that too. It's a very long road to tread, but when we start letting the light in, hope, reasons, and everything in between follows.

Hold on, keep searching for the light, and just always love. Love more.<br /><br />And remember: There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Allow things to take time. When the time is right, your soul will know when to stop running. This is what I have learned, at least.<br /><br />Ah, Patricia. For you to tell me I help you feel whole, such heavy words. So overwhelming. I don't know what to say. I feel like thank you is not the right response. It will never be enough. But I want you to know that you make me feel whole, too. All you kind strangers leaving beautiful, heartfelt messages on my stories. You keep me inspired. You make me feel whole and utterly full.The Stillness in Movinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965683118675810263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438257585861943911.post-25807033816745828262015-05-16T11:24:44.901+08:002015-05-16T11:24:44.901+08:00Thank you for this.

Ate Nicole, you, yourself is a beautiful story. <br /><br />I don't really know the exact words to tell you, but, your photos, your writings help me to be a whole person. I feel so lost before, then I stumbled here at your site. I started reading your stories, then suddenly, I'm lost with your words, lost with my own thoughts, then, I'm crying. A cry of finding myself, a cry of being whole. Thank you so much ate Nicole. I know your dad is so proud of you!Patricianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438257585861943911.post-58621981237896295452015-05-14T14:31:36.321+08:002015-05-14T14:31:36.321+08:00Danielle.

So thank you for reminding me what I am capable of. Know that I shall carry your wonderful words with me for a very long time. I wish you a life full of light and love.

I guess I find a sense of belonging in that. I guess because, for most of my life, I didn't really believe even the closest people to me understood just how lonely I was. Because they didn't go through what I have. They haven't seen what I have.<br /><br />I hope that whatever darkness you knew isn't there anymore. I hope you are enveloped in light now. I hope you are happy now. Thank you for reading and leaving such a heartfelt message. I really appreciate it. xThe Stillness in Movinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965683118675810263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6438257585861943911.post-45125648051387415522015-05-14T13:57:36.165+08:002015-05-14T13:57:36.165+08:00Thank you so much, Jo.
