Today is my birthday. I am happy to have reached this birthday. I am happy to have gone through so much mental torment this year. It has made me realize how hard this life is. How many beautiful things there are. How much i adore my family. Every cute and smelly inch of them.
I am not all better. I don't want to be portraying that here. One day, everything is all better. It doesn't work that way. The other night i had a small breakdown by the pool. I heaved the most massive tears i have ever cried. I moaned and tears flowed. Shane held me.It was the first time i have cried since this whole thing started. It was horrible.
I am seperated from my sadness here in miami. I have left it behind me for now. I am ignoring it while i enjoy this beautiful place with my husband.
Today we are going on a swamp tour in honour of my birthday. I'm totally psyched.

Happy birthday. It is a gradual process, but things will continue to get better. We will always continue to have “off” days because we are human. But there is definitely a place that is “better” if not “cured”.
I wish every happiness to you and your family and pray that this year will be wonderful for you in every way xXx

You’re one day older than Theya! Happy Birthday, babe. It’s good to cry, though, sometimes, isn’t it? To let it out?

Changing the scenery helps, but it’s a temporary thing. You can only be “all better” if you can be in your own space and feel okay. Hope it happens for you.
