The Other Thing Is Surrounding Yourself With People That Care For You. These Are Simple Things, But They're Powerful, And They've Completely Transformed Who I Am And How I Perceive Myself.

I Got Back Into The Position Of Taking Care Of My Husband, Which Is What I'd Learned That I Couldn't Really Do: You Can Love And Make Things Okay To A Certain Extent, But You Can't Fix. I Didn't Quite Learn That Until The Kayaking Incident. It Became So Clear Then.
