I’ve sat in front of my computer for over two hours trying to find the right words to put into this blog. “Natalie, you’re overthinking this again.” AB tells me from the edge of my bed. I know she’s right… but how do I express the spectrum of emotions I’ve felt over the last 4 days? Are there words in the english language that exist to accomplish such a feat? Well, I’ve decided that for tonight, in my still foggy state that the best thing I can say is simple and sweet…THANK YOU.
For the love and support you have all given to me and my family…THANK YOU
For your compassion and understanding in my time of remorse…THANK YOU
For sharing your time and attention during your busy days…THANK YOU
For every single text, message, phone call and prayer… THANK YOU
For believing in me…THANK YOU
I love you all! Every single one of you. XO

Well said my friend, Well said.
We are all touched by your strength. We are all so thankful that you are ok. Stay strong and keep fighting to win this battle. Wishing you days ahead filled with more light then dark, more laughs then sorrow and more love then your heart can handle.

RIGHT ON! You’re back! That’s awesome!
See? You worried so much about what to put down, all you really had to do was start at the beginning … and it turned out perfectly 🙂
I love my email and FaceBook timelines. Things come across there at just the right time for some reason … “There isn’t anything noble about being superior to another person. True nobility is in being superior to the person you once were.” You go feel the sun and the wind on your face, smile and appreciate you’re here. You have another day to make yours, whatever that is. One step ahead … we believe in you, believe in yourself. Be gentle on your spirit 😉

Natalie, the world is a much better place with you in it. It’s always hard for us to understand how much we really mean to others, how much of an impact we have had on others, until times like these.
Put that A+ effort in to work ahead of you and come out the other side a better person. Your job at this time is not to inspire others, or to “find the right words”. Hey it’s me Nat…is enough for all of us to take a deep breath of relief. Take the time now to heal and celebrate the Nat that is stronger than she was yesterday and look forward to the Nat you will become tomorrow.
