You only stand to break my heart, I can tell it by the way you run away

Tonight a bunch of us went to Karen's house. The 'old gang'... so basically me, Carlye, Caitlyn, Josh, Kate, Michelle etc.
Shawn and Krista came, which was awesome, and Krista and I made definite plans to MAKE definite plans regarding a mentoring sesh, since we haven't gotten together much since I asked her to mentor me.
Alex (whose last name I cannot recall) and Sharon Bard came as well; they're the new youth pastors for Neighborhood. I didn't really talk to Alex much, but he seems nice enough, and he seemed to really bond with Josh and Mike.
Sharon, obviously, is lovely.
I had a meeting with Shawn near the end and told him about a lot of what I've been feeling, what's going on in my life, and how I feel about what's going on in others. I know it was hard for him to talk about some stuff, but he said some things that kind of helped both of us, I think.
He also made it very clear that I will NEVER be alone, and that he's never going to let me go through anything alone. He ended with "Molly, we've always figured this out togehter before, right? Whether it be money, or your dad, or mom, I've never stopped until we've worked out a solution, and it's no different now."
He told me he was going to work out ways that I could just come over to his place when I needed to be with a happy family or just hang out and know without a doubt that I was not alone... or if I just needed a hug from Krista. ("I reason with things and determine logic, Krista gives you hugs")
Flip, I just feel so blessed to have that entire family in my life.
How did I ever luck out this much?
