Bobretta’s Smile
This past week also brought sadness to my heart. Bobretta was my counsellor, and I learnt that she lost her battle with cancer.
Bobretta Turned my life around
Bobretta turned my personal life around. I first saw her at the start of May this year. I told her my situation and she was just as confused at Michaels departure as I was and asked that he tell me where things stood. I read the response to her and she asked my what I thought. Remembering I was suicidal the week before, the response I gave to her was a turning point in my mind. She helped me look at the past objectively, helped me look at my future but most of all she helped me look at myself. She also told me what to expect in the future, and what bumps may be ahead. By mid July I was feeling so much better we agreed I have one more session.
I had met Tony by this stage and I told her I was smitten with someone. I can clearly see her response, that smile and grin she gave me will be with me forever. I told her what excited me was the future and showing Tony the world. She gave me her advice regarding the relationship, she said I deserved to be happy.
If I could say one thing to her it would be
“Bobretta, my garden is starting to flourish”
