First of all, I'm so glad you're playing this season of Idol. I've been thinking about you a lot lately and wondering how things were going with the baby.

I'm so sorry this year has been so hard, but I loved how you wrote this entry. And I love the answer you came to. It's just beautiful. And I'm so glad that something good — finding yourself — has come from all the darkness. I hope it only continues to get better!
