I am sorry about everything that happened. It's great that this typhoon came around and gave you both self realization and reflection.
You are right, most of us do not always want to ask for help. We feel the other people might want to get something in return. I am pleased to know that you have people who helped you during the hit.
I hope that the Almighty will bless your friend more so she can give more as she said. I pray that you too will find your foot and get back on your feet again.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really do aprreciate you reaching out. We will get over this one. And I am glad than I have a lot of support, online and offline.
You are most welcome
