Years ago, I suffered from severe depression & anxiety. I almost took my own life because I went from having an immediate family of six to just me. I would always wonder why life had to be this way, why bad things happened to good people, & I always blamed myself. I felt as if I had nothing to live for. A lot of peers during high school didn't know what was going on in my life & kids can be very mean, so I was bullied a lot. I was at an edge but it only took just ONE person to keep my head above water. Slowly but surely, she pulled me up. I've made a lot of mistakes, I've been mean, I've been dumb, I've been scared, I've been a lot of things- but this amazing woman, my bestfriend, was nothing but supportive & loving & loyal to me for 13 years. She taught me how to pray when we were just 10 years old, she taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think when we were in middle school, and she taught me how to forgive when we were in high school. I definitely would not be alive if it wasn't for her. I'm so thankful that my son, who I've added onto the list of people to live for (I am now at the top of that list btw), has the privilege of having her as a godmother. It is a true honor having her in our lives. I love my gifts from God. ❤️✨
