I have mentioned before, and often, that I have THE BEST support system a person can ask for. Yale has gone above and beyond with outstanding raffle ticket sales. Friends and family have showered me with love and support. And strangers will often send silent prayers my way (I know I always have when spotting a baldy). Yet I have been struggling with overwhelming lonely feelings. I am always asking myself "why? When I obviously have such an awsome support system and all this love, why do I feel lonely?" I haven't come up with an answer. I have figured out that I am missing someone in a "best friend" role; someone who is always there for me (moms and sisters don't count), someone who will hold my hand when I'm scared, be patient with me when I'm crying and reassure me when things look bleak. This is just an observation, as sad one that feels as pathetic as it sounds but its a reality.

I don't have an answer for todays entry. Maybe someone else out there has some wisdom to share?... (feel free to use the comment feature)
