Emotional Overload

"Thanks for coming to visit! I had a great time catching up 💜 goodnight."

After more than a year, we finally got the chance to visit with Cheyann yesterday in her new home state. We had a great 2-3 hours together, talked lots about hopes and dreams and future plans and relived some fun positive memories- and then I got the phone call this morning that she is back in the hospital after another major suicide attempt. I had let myself forget for a moment about this miserable diagnosis she is saddled with and just for a short time, just for a moment let myself believe she had healed. Even her text, above, was convincing. My heart hurt tonight.
