Today I got a pleasant surprise. Clients of mine, one 70 and the other nearing, sent me a friend request on Facebook. Never thought I would see them there. They have a fabulous attitude and have been wonderful to me on a personal level as well as a business level.

They dealt which many difficulties in life, and have this attitude, what can you do but move forward. They were so supportive when they heard of my CSA, listening, and give me a big hug. They have shared their own story of dealing with therapy for one of their children who had many difficulties. They worked as a family and never judged anyone. They were upset when they heard what people said about their child without knowing the cause and issues. They truly live a life of never judging anyone. I have known them 6 or 7 years, and I have never heard them or their family speak poorly or negatively of anyone. Their family is intact and loving because they do the hard work in facing issues honestly and openly. They never give up or judge.

So when I saw the Facebook request, I thought these people always stay up to date and are not afraid to try new things. I think that is why when they went to therapy decades ago when it was looked down on, they were able to embrace it and heal--all because of their attitude. Their child is wonderful, funny lovable and happily married now because the child faced all the demons years ago.

People like this give me hope and show me the world has many people who support and care for those who have suffered something so terrible as CSA and other inflictions. It is how they look at the world.
 
You are blessed to have them and they are blessed to know you.
 
For some reason when I ever hear from them or talk with them, I feel good. They know how to laugh and roll with the punches and get back up. Their life had many twists and challenges and I think many families also face challenges but many sweep it under the rug. It is always wonderful to meet people like them--and they just celebrated their 48th Anniversary and they are still smiling and doing everything together. It shows when both parents work together the power of two. They could have fragmented over the issues but stood side by side. Through it all they remained best friends.

I love stories like this.
