Finally able to get rest.

For like the past 5 or so years, I haven't been able to get restful sleep. Matt (my ex) had left his bed here, which had always been disgusting. My mother and I have been sharing a couch as a bed. We haven't been able to afford even one bed.

Well, Sunday, mom let it slip, on accident, to my Aunt Barbara, that we shared a couch as a bed. Aunt Barbara, who has always been my favorite aunt... well, really my favorite non parent/grandparent relative, decided to, despite not having a whole lot of money, get us beds.

Mom got my late Uncle Dusty's bed, which is a medical one, that the head and foot of the bed raise. I got a brand new twin bed. She also got some nice bed sheets for us. We didn't ask. She just did this because it's what family does.

As far as I am concerned, her and my cousin Aiden are the only bio family I have any more. I adore them so much. Not because they give me things, but because they saw we were in need, and they helped us.

I have been helping other people all these years. In fact one of the reasons I couldn't save any money for a bed is because I have been helping people, especially in the last 3 years.

I have been too tired to do art, play games, watch movies, help out, all because I haven't been getting good, restful sleep. It has effected my health, not being rested. Last night, however I slept so well and so long.

Also, Barbara, Aiden, and Aiden's friend who came to help, Chase, visited, not just set up the beds and left. I am so so so very proud of Aiden. He has grown up into a kind, loving, caring man. I have adored him since I first laid eyes on him, and have hoped he would turn out to be a good person, and he has exceeded my expectations and hopes!

I honestly have never felt this well rested and happy.

I am soooo happy to hear that you have finally been able to get some rest and peace, you absolutely deserve it, especially after going through this for so long!
Something amazing someone did for me recently was my old teammates showed up to support me at a jiu jitsu tournament last weekend! It meant a lot to me since I'm not a part of their gym anymore but they still cared enough to be there for me and help coach me during my matches.
