Geeka

How can I ever repay you?

I got sick this week. And it was a combination of a couple of things. And I knew what part of it was. I hadn't been taking my meds for depression and that just made the illness worse. But that doesn't matter. Let me tell you about my Geeka.

On Tuesday she actually came over here and took David from me. So I was able to stay in bed and sleep all day. I woke up in the morning feeling a little better but overwhelmed by everything. Completely freaked out and I could not stop crying. I was trying to make a Dr's appt but I couldn't because our insurance changed and I just couldn't handle all of the stress. Geeka said "I am putting my hair up in a pony and I am on my way!"

And that calmed me down. I knew that help was coming. And she did. And she made me breakfast. And she made me laugh when she kept setting the fire alarm off. She played with my babies all day. And totally distracted me from everything. Tony figured out the insurance and made me an appointment with the new doctor. And my Sheryl watched my kids while I went and while I picked up my perscription.

When I got home from there she had built tents out of my furniture for the kids! She had them in boxes and was pushing them around in the boxes squealling "Wheeeee!!"

She made me take a nap. And she didn't leave until 5 when Tony called because he was almost home.

Sheryl, thank you for caring. There are not many people who can understand what I am going through in my head. And to be honest I don't really like to share it with many people. But I feel safe with you and I know that you are not going to judge me. Thank you for making yourself at home here, I love that you come over and start cooking and going through cabinets and drawers. Thank you for making me smile and forget that I was not myself. Thank you for loving my babies like they are your own and laughing when they are obnoxious. Thank you for calling me today to remind me to take my meds.

I owe you big time. I will return the favor I am sure of it. Babies?? No problem, I am there for you sistah! With not a question in my head, if you want me to do it I will do it. We are family...
