To the ones that stood by me through the darkest and most challenging days of my life, I can not thank you enough. It doesn’t matter how big or little of a presence you had turning that time, anything from a simple text saying, “thinking of you” to coming and visiting me even after the last time all I did was yell or cry is what go me through those days.

I don’t think I would have kept getting out of bed, kept thinking there was a light at the end of the tunnel, kept fighting if it hadn’t been for the messages of strength, faith, and love each of you sent my way. You never know just how powerful the strength of love it until those days were its only thinking about all the people standing beside you is the only thing that keeps you going. On those days where I didn’t want to keep going for myself it was all of you that kept me going, I kept on battling because I didn’t want to keep on hurting all of you. When I felt weak and like I couldn’t over come this even if I wanted to you all sent me massage of strength, courage, and faith. You all made me believe in myself when I was full of doubt.

I want to thank you for standing by me, I know it wasn’t always easy at times. There were days on end where I would shut you out, times where all I did was yell at you and tell you how much I hate you for making me go through this, I tired to blame you for my life being miserable, most days I was angry, resentful, and ungrateful for you. Looking back on my behavior I am truly embarrassed and want to apologize. I want to now take the time to tell you thank you for everything. For all the cards, all the text messages, the hours you spent on the road, the investment you put into me, and so much more. I have never felt more loved than when I came to the light at the end of the tunnel and finally saw all your guys love and support as not dragging me through hell but as pulling me out of hell. I am standing here today because of you. I am happy today because of you. I now cherish each and everyone of you even more deeply in my heart. I owe all of you my life.

So thank you for standing by me,

The struggling
