I need space to process my thoughts and y'all know that without me needing to say anything. Y'all don’t urge me to talk about anything you just sit with me in silence until I am ready to talk. You bring up the hard questions and topics and stay straight forward and honest. You don’t sugar coat anything and you force me to really think about what I want and what I need to do for myself and my own happiness.

You are never angry at anyone, nor am I, and I appreciated the support for all parties involved in every situation. You stay confused with me, ask questions with me, and accept that not all questions have answers. That helps me feel like I'm not alone and that we are all on the same page.

You track my phone, watch as it moves around, and reach out to the people closest to me to make sure I am doing okay while giving me the space and time I sometimes desperately need. You don’t ask too many questions, you just stay concerned about my well being when necessary and that's all I need. That's all we need. The details of every event don't matter but the outcome does and that's not something many people realize.

Whether physical, over the phone, or in silence, thank you for being there when I need it the most. It's known that I stay secluded when I need time to process my own thoughts but thank you for being with me while I do that and continue to do that from time to time. Y'all are the silent support system that every person deserves to have.
