Divinely Hooked

I have never been a small town girl. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the country. I LOVE farms and animals. And I very much love the peacefulness of being away from busyness. However, living in a small town just isn't for me. A little over a year ago I made the decision, with full support from my amazing husband, to move to this small (to us) town so I could be close to my parents and be near my mom as she came to the end of her earthly life. That choice will never ever be a regretted one. While we have had many negative experiences here, none of it will take away from the 5 months that I had with, caring for, and loving my sweet mama.

If you are seeing a doctor or practitioner, of any kind, and you don't feel like it's helping; try a different person! It could make all the difference in the world! If you are in need of metal health help, please find it! It is so worth it! If you do not need the help for yourself, be the help and support for someone else. ❤️
