Day 329 – The wonderful boy
It is fair to say that over the last two months the boy has played his part in this saga remarkably well. In spite of my finishing with him in my high as a kite phase and refusing to see him at all for the first week he has been a rock.
Both him and my parents have refused to give up on me and have kept coming back to see me even when I was behaving like a horrible girl.
I will never truly be able to express how grateful I am that they never gave up the ghost. It cannot have been easy for my family, friends and the boy to hear cruel words and accusations and still keep coming back for more.
They have had to know that the one they were battling to keep alive no longer wanted to live. They have seen me when I have refused food, walks, treats and even cuddled but have still brushed themselves off and tried again.
I want to be better, really I do, if only so I can be again the girl they were holding out hope for. It would have been so easy for them all to leave me in that place forever, to give up on a girl who so often refused visits and calls but they did not and neither did you and though I am not yet right I want to thank you for your love, your thoughts, your support, for getting me through the blackest of days. Thank you, all of you. Truly.

It’s in the job description of Mum. They can never give up hope or love for their children.
