This afternoon I sat and talked with a friend. I am so thankful for that.

She offered me some perspectives she had been reading about what is really going on when people lash out. One is that they are scared and the other is that they are in need of reinforcement of the relationship. Both of these things are true about me and both of these things are true about the boys.

She also offered some insight on my feelings toward the relationship with Mentor R. We talked through what I had been thinking in regards to how the relationship might work in the future.

I am just so thankful for this time to just talk. I don't get that much anymore and I loved every minute of it.

Praises for friendship!!
