Tricia – What personal support was most helpful to you?

For me, the personal support that I received from friends and family was probably just amazingly huge.  Because, I didn’t have to worry about—not to say I didn’t worry about them—but I didn’t have to worry about the kids, I didn’t have to worry about, you know, my house being clean, or if there was food in the house.  I mean there was always somebody.  You know, like I said, we had an amazing support system.  Personally, my own support, obviously my parents are fantastic, but my dad was huge.  My parents were both there, my mom definitely for the kids, but my dad was with me at some point probably every day.  I mean, there were days if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have eaten.  He was just there constantly.
