      Matt used to get really anxious that we’d end up on the street with nothing & i always told him we’d be ok because we have a community that will catch us if we fall. we catch them when they need & they catch us when we need. this past year that keeps being reinforced.

      our community is what saved Matt’s life last september, has made everything possible for us since then & it saved his life again yesterday. i have a tendency to isolate when stressed but i know i need people & Matt is a social butterfly & needs to be around people.

      so i’ve been working hard on not isolating. i decided to have regular bbqs pretty much every Sunday, as a sort of makeshift church. i’m so grateful for this community & i wanted a way to keep it strong. at our bbq yesterday Matt had a seizure. everyone was so quick to respond.

      call 911, help move him to the ground, do chest compression, watch the baby and dogs while we went to the hospital. i don’t know what we would’ve done without them. he’s stable & back to baseline. but this is all to say, yes that banger tweet was sent from the hospital.
