                                                  To all of my dear friends,

                                                       I am dedicating

                                                             2013  

                                                          As a year

                                                        For change  

                                              For each and every one of you!

                                                             

                               

                                         

I have started Will's Way

Gifting

Wristbands

And

BPD pins... .  

Will's Way

Is

About

Walking

Step

By

Step

into

Life

Will's body is gone to the ground

But his spirit lives on

And it was and is some spirit!

Thanking you one and all for letting me stay with you and for listening to my rather eclectic musings.

To Our Dear Reality,

Thank YOU for staying with US and for sharing your eclectic musings with us.  And for starting Will's Way.  Your wonderful Will filled your heart   and your soul with beauty and you are now (and have been) passing on his beauty and love to others. 

Bless you.  May you find peace in the New Year.

Reality,

thank you for sharing all your wisdom, fears and validation of all of our challenges.

Will was blessed to have you in his life.  I was blessed through him to have you in mine.

I will toast to Will's Way tonight and for many years to come.

Peace,

TJB

Reality,

You changed how I think about my ds, you changed how I speak to  my ds and you changed how I talk about my ds.

I do not have any idea how things are going to end.  But you showed me that I should see how fragile he is and that I should tread lightly. I can never thank you enough for opening my eyes and my heart.

It's so hard to have a pwBPD and so easy to become hardened to it. 

You helped me and your Will helped me to understand.

When I lost my brother I wrote "go gcasfar ar a cheile sinn aris"  "till we meet again"

Reality:

The first thing I will do at midnight is to walk. Even if it around my house in gratitude to you and all you have shared with all of us.  I will walk in Will's Way forever.

I just walked for Will!  I'm a couple of blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and the waves are crashing and fireworks were going off... .  I sent out my own signal to the universe to please help all of us and our loved ones wherever they are.

Thanks Reality - you gave me such a wake up call when I needed it some time ago. Will's Way  - he will always be a treasure in the world through your gifts to all who will listen - we here are listening.

Not quite eleven here - will celebrate with the midwest as not sure will make it to midnight here. Fun evening with gd and dh - gd and I strung steamers all over the living room, painted 2013 and pictures to hang up, and played games. She is such a gift for us. Dd and bf"M" are watching movies downstairs. All is peaceful. All my goals are being fulfulled at least for tonight.

Hello from Italy,

Thanks, Reality, tour words are so important to me!

I'm going for a walk for Will. It is almost 7 am in Italy.

Happy new year!

I am going to bundle up, grab the leash and take our dog for a walk in the sunlight of New Year's Day, my Walk for Will.

Dear friends,

Know that every time you and yours walk for Will, the world is changing... .  

Every time you are so kind to me

You share my tragedy

You shoulder my burden

You tell me I am not alone


Will's Way

Was

Kindness


Will lived his Will-ness

Not his illness

I just kept looking for Will

Too bad

I was so alone... .  

I know now that he would still be with us

If I had had help

Many of us would not be here

If we had had help

The wounded healers, one and all... .  

Here's to us

Your Reality

Reality

You are so right... .  many of us would not be here if we had gotten help.  Especially those with young adults. 

But the work you are doing is going to help those parents who are coming behind us.  Maybe we had to pave the way for the next generation of parents of pwBPD. 

My hope is that the stigma gets lifted, the MH services are plentiful and especially affordable.  Maybe someday those with BPD will have a joyful and independent life.

In all the sadness, wow, community, so lovely to read all your messages


Happy new year seems so inappropriate sometimes, just kind of hoping I get through it haha.

I do think we could have a better year, we have all learnt so much
