People Who "Get It"

November 7 was the anniversary of the day we found out Ben had passed.

During this whole journey, I have encountered many people who just don't "get it". Granted, "IT" is a hard thing to understand unless you have been through it yourself. I try to always keep in mind that everyone has the best intentions and even when some people say hurtful or insensitive things, they always mean the best.

However, there are a few people out there that do "get it". It's sad, really, because usually these are people that have experienced some sort of loss themselves. Sometimes not though, sometimes they are just really compassionate and thoughtful people that seem to have a gift for saying the right thing.

Anyways, I have a few friends in particular who "get it". One of these friends Lisa, left these flowers on my doorstep on November 7th.



It brought a smile to my face. So thoughtful. I love the significance of the two blue and one white rose.

Thank you Lisa.

And thanks to everyone else who "gets it" and isn't afraid to talk to me about Ben.
