about this ALF…

…in West Reading.

I have received kid glove care here and have experienced the most incredible healing.

i experienced a serious illness that had me almost on my deathbed after four months hiding under the covers on a psych ward near here.

I am working on getting my leg strength back. Taking advantage of standing moments and the stairs to my room and trips out.

People often find deep insights in moments like these.

It took me to the ropes. I felt the ropes and it took me to those places in the past that were so serious; and disbanded me from them.

It is the new medications I am on. Meds that weren’t available even 5 years ago. But it is also an advanced understanding of how to treat people in MH care. New forms of therapy. Out with the old b.s.

It is this place. This is a special place. These are special people who help one another in the most serious way, even me. I have never felt so welcomed.

I have to move on from here back to where I came from. I have ties here but it was always this way for me in Reading. I belong someplace else.

I will always remember this place and these people.
