I visited my old therapists. These were the ones I had last before I was able to go home.
Belle, Cinderella and Jasmine.
That’s what we called them and that’s what they’ll stay.
These three ladies taught me enough so that I could go home. They gave me what I needed to be able to do what I’ve done today.
They taught me to balance and start to walk, they taught me to get dressed by myself, they gave me my first real meals…they made me believe that I could write again.
For weeks they worked me hard. They trained me as much as they could.
I would never have met these people if I hadn’t been in the hospital. Had a stroke. Been in a coma. Struggled through rehab.
The worst parts of my life still brought the most wonderful people.
Wow. This is exactly how I see things as well. I made some of my best friends when our son was going through his cancer treatment. Lifelong friends, the best of the best through the worst of the worst.

I agree, so happy there are such wonderful people in the world doing exactly what they should be doing. Helping others and doing it so well. I am sure they were all thrilled to see you Anissa
Awesome.
clearly you rock so hard, disney sent you your own dream team, straight from the magic kingdom. Never underestimate the power of YOU !
Hilarious post title! And that’s great that you have your own personal princesses helping/guiding you through recovery.

You humble me with your revelations. Sometimes they also make me pee.

The title of this post made me snort. And I really needed a good snort. You’re MY therapy!
I am so thankful there are people like this in the world. My aunt has some of the same princesses in another state, but they have done the same things for her.
Bless them for existing.

Many thanks to your “Princesses” for helping you come back!!!! ♥ So grateful!
What’s with all the Silence of the Lambs references in my life lately?!
Thank goodness you have your very own princesses – I hope they take that as the biggest compliment in the world
Amen, sister. My life’s greatest tragedies have brought me most of my best relationships.
I’m thankful for your Belle, Cinderella, and Jasmine. They helped you come back to us.
