Never Alone

since starting the blog, our followers have slowly started to grow in numbers.  something we never really expected.  we hoped and prayed that somewhere down the line the blog would have helped make a difference in someone's lives.  help to raise the spirits of those that are down or in need of a "pick me up."

i started to really push the blog via Facebook and texting my friends and family.  i requested that they help spread the word by sharing the link to the page to everyone they know.  all anyone had to do was forward the text i sent them to their friends and family.  all they had to do was copy and past or click share to spread the word on their status and time line.  things i noticed many people do more and more each day.  thanks to those who have shared the blog link, we have started to get more and more messages.

these messages have brought tears to my eyes.  to see that our blog has touched so many people in so many different ways humbles me while blowing me away at the same time.

it's thanks to these messages i thought i would use today to remind people that they are never alone.  everyone, from those with an illness to those who take care of the ill, always has someone to lean on.  from family to those who read the blog.  this is the reason the Facebook page was set up.  never feel like any of the battles are your own to fight.  no one can fight a battle a lone and win.  no one has to stand at the front line with fear that there is no one who has your back.

the loyal followers of the blog, along with the many friends of yours on our Facebook page stand tall and proud holding your hand every step of the way.  we all stand tall with each other to the bitter end.  no one goes into the dark night alone.  as we all stand together, we shine a light brighter than we could ever imagine.

for those of you with the illnesses i want you to remember, never push your loved ones away.  never shut the doors on them.  they give you the help you need because they love and care.  they waste their time to keep you around.  you push them away, in hopes to not burden their lives.  in hopes to save them the stress.  remember that they do this because they love you.  they do this because they want to keep you around.  if it bothers you to have their help, remember how much harder and stressful its going to be if you're gone.  remember how they are going to take it each and every day you leave.

when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, no one is ever alone.  no one has to fight alone.  when you are at your weakest, when you are at your lowest, when you feel you can no longer hold on, remember you always have a friend.  you always have someone willing to grab your hand, no matter how small it is.  remember that the Endless Struggle Family is here to wrap your arms around their shoulders and each and every one of us will always be there to fight the fight for you.  when you can no longer fight, turn to your family and hand over the reigns as we will clear the path for you, to make the battle just a little bit easier.  as long as the Endless Struggle Family stands strong, you will forever stand strong.
