I was just given another blessing to help me cope. I've always collected records. We have a record player in the house but it doesn't belong to me and I was only allowed to snag it once. It only took that one time to get hooked on the sound. Well, fast forward probably 5 years later and a gross amount of records later my boyfriend surprised me with my own record player. There is nothing more relaxing than putting on an "old" record and just letting it play. I don't have to talk or try to explain things with my hands. The music just speaks to me and wants nothing more than for me to sit down and enjoy with the occasional flipping of sides.
It's funny how some things can just raise your spirits. I've been blessed to receive many gifts since this happened but this gift really seemed to make a difference.


Taking a break from the forum for a while. Thank you so much for your support if you've been supportive.
