PHP

Today I was reflecting on the time I have spent in PHP. It has, unquestionably, been incredibly difficult. Yet it has also been the best period of my life since some fun middle school times. (Although there were some good times in high school, too, I guess...) The authenticity I have been able to experience there has been really, really incredible. The support I have gotten there is extraordinary. I can never really express how grateful I am to be having this amazing time. I really, really, really love PHP. I just want to journal really quick about all the phenomenal people I have met there.
First getting there, there was:
(in patient with me): Rebecca, Jessica, Antoinette, and Beverly. In PHP there was Christine L, Naomi, Baylee, Kristine F, Johanna.
While I was still inpatient, we added Paula, Pam, Elizabeth.
Barely in the outside world I went, Amy and Lauren went inpatient.
Subsequently, many people have come and gone. Jone. Pearl. Marion. Kay. Trisha. Christina.
Now we have some new people. Chloe. Erin. Judy. Monica. Lisa. Jeanette. Christina. Mikayla.

I know I'm probably missing a few. But these people are so amazing. It is SO incredible to truly get to know someone.

Not to mention the staff. Heather. Nancy S, Nancy P, Jaime!, Leslie!, Alan, Tasha.

SOoooo I want to record some awesome stuff that will help me remember the good times.
