Just checking in @avant-garde.

How are you feeling today? 💛

@AuntGlow

I feel... maybe a 6 out of 10... not hating today but I wouldn't say I'm content either

I was allowed to see Jasmine today but it's hard seeing her not be her usual bubbly laughing self... glad she's not in the ICU now though...

I can imagine seeing Jasmine was a huge relief in some ways, but of course, overwhelming in others... it would have been hard seeing her in that space. @avant-garde

Do you have updates on her overall condition? 💛

@AuntGlow

She has a twisted bowel and will have surgery either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Her parents were happy to have a break together today

That could be a great topic to explore for the Newsletter @avant-garde

Glad to read those updates about your lovely friend. Hope you're doing okay 💜

@avant-garde Oh wow, that sounds so painful for her... 😔

I am really hoping her surgery goes well. We are here for you, so please don't hesitate to reach out and let the community know what you need. It's okay to need some extra care right now. 💛

@AuntGlow

She just got out of surgery and it was successful

I was scared to reach out here

But then I realise just how fragile I currently am and reach out to ask someone from church for a catch up and just get asked, basically, "why", well actually "Is there something specific you wanted to chat about?"

How could I be so stupid! Why the heck would they help me! It's not like I flipping matter to them! They've made that blatantly obvious!

Why would they care...

Oh, I am so, so glad she is okay. @avant-garde

How are you feeling about this news?

Regarding your second post, it sounds like something in their response has stirred a sense that they may not care, which sounds so overhwhelming for you... I am wondering if they clarified so they could respond in a meaningful way/ascertain if they had the space first?

Did you end up replying at all?💛

@avant-garde I am so sorry they are making you feel that way. This is where I sometimes wish we were able to catch up in real life. I do understand the reason why it's not possible though.

I don't understand why they would ask such a question.

Darling girl I am going to pray for someone at your church to reach out to you if that's okay with you?

You matter so much, I wish they could see what I do 🫂 🤗 🥰
