Dearest @Anastasia ,
i so understand how you must be feeling, but that does not help you but I hope the support you are receiving here brings you some comfort and consolation that you are not entirely alone.
worrying about a beloved child is a torture that can be too hard to bear.
my thoughts and feelings are with you .
i am sitting with you

I'm glad you have been able to have a chat about things with a friend of yours - that would have helped a lot! @Anastasia
Just do what is super urgent for work, and worry about the rest tomorrow.
Best to get to your boy as soon as you can this afternoon - hugs are what's important today.
Stay strong! 💞💖💞

Good morning beautiful friend @Anastasia . I know I havent been around much for you lately, but want you to know I think of you all the time. Hoping and praying for a good outcome for your Boy, and happiness and relief for you as a result.
I'm going to be away now until next Tues night, so will be a bit scarse on here for a while. Visiting my Dad and family, and not looking fwd to the long drive. But I will keep an eye out for any updates from you.
Take care precious one. Love you.
Hi @Eve7 @WIP @Peri 🌷🌻

Good morning @Anastasia
Just a quick note before I head off to DBT class.
I'm thinking of you and your boy and really hope your visit y'day went well.
I hope you were able to get some restful sleep last night and work isn't too hectic for you.
Much love
L & Levi 💞🐾
