@ericawordsmith – You know, yes, this is three months late because I am a terrible person who doesn’t keep up with things. But yes, I am coming on anyways. Your dentist appointment is way past and I missed the opportunity to tell you I’d be praying for you, but I’ll say I would have been had I known and I will for all the future things. You guys, all you guys, @wordsmith @kari-karast @ashira @eden-anderson @evelyn I love y’all so much and I hate it when I miss being there for you.
And you know what @ericawordsmith, you are waaaaay stronger than I am, because the idea of laughing gas scares the heck out me! No way would I want that. Uh-uh. But you girl, from the way you wrote it, took that like it was nothing! Now, I’m not afraid of needles. Medical things actually fascinate me, to be honest, so I can’t properly empathize with your fear, but I can sympathize. I have things too that to me seem pathological, and I thought I was stupid for being afraid of them. I was so grateful for a friend who told me I wasn’t, who told me that Jesus didn’t think it was stupid, and that she didn’t care if everyone else thought I was a baby, she’d hold my hand and help me through things. This is what I, and I’m sure everyone else here, wants to say to you. We’ll be there for you. Always. That’s a promise.
