life in the darkness

I just thought I’d write an open letter on here. To everyone who has helped me and is continuing to do so. Thank you all! It’s through you all that my confidence is coming back. Through you all helping me with different things that I’m growing. Through friends helping me with beauty products and things teaching me I do look nice etc. My church friends who have now become my little family. Thank you all. For the past 5 years or so since I started to come to mass, then through my baptism, confirmation and communion. You’ve all stood there by my side, through times when I’ve been down but masked it every sunday. Been through the chest infections and asthma episodes all be it at a distance. You’ve invited me to walsingham this year which I honestly am touched by. I don’t live in Liverpool yet, but I feel like one of your parishioners already! I have 2 church families. Here and over there. I enjoy singing in the choir and enjoy singing solos where ever I can. Although my voice still needs strenthening yet as it’s still coming back. I’m not exactly sure how to strenthen it, other than using scales etc, but I don’t want to do more damage. I’m trying to find out if there’s an estill teacher nearbye or online who can perhaps help. But once again, thank you. To both my god mothers, you are very dear and special to me! You’re like my 3rd and 4th mothers! You guide me in different ways, teach me to do certain jobs at church after mass, like putting the dish washer on and closing the shutters. I enjoy doing that every week and would love to expand on that. Without you all, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Without all my non-religious friends also, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Liz, you helped me when I was in desperate need of it. You advised therapy, which I took. I’m still having my counselling with lovely Katie every 2 months. Liz, you are also like a mother to me and have helped me in so many ways. You’ve helped my nan too. Everyone I’m getting to know and am relearning to get to know, thank you! To those who I’m attempting to rebuild friendships with, Thank you for giving me a second shot! It means a lot. Thank you for acceptingme back into your lives. To siena, thank you for allowing me to do a radio show on your station. Once again, a heart felt thank you to everyone!
