To My Support System,

Over the past few years, I have been dealing with many changes and challenges. I have endured some of my worst days, and survived to experience the best moments of my life. I have learned how to overcome adversity and that darkness does not last forever. Throughout all of my hardships, I know that my support system is one of the reasons that I stayed strong for so long. My family and friends stuck by my side through the darkest moments of my life, and I could never be more grateful.

Thank you for listening to me when I have a rough day and need to vent. Talking out my problems is a huge coping skill that I rely on. Sometimes, I really just need someone to listen and (somewhat) understand what I am going through.

Thank you for your patience. I’m not always the easiest to deal with. I have my mood swings, and I can be very stubborn at times. Despite it all, you grant me your time and patience, and you help me work through it.

Thank you for lifting me up. With your love and support, I was able to do things like graduate high school, go to college, and earn great grades. Sometimes, I doubt myself, but you never stop believing in me.

Thank you for always caring. Thank you for checking in on me when I endure bad days. Thank you for caring and giving me an incentive to keep fighting. Knowing that someone cares helps me want to recover and keep moving forward. Thank you for wanting the best for me and always caring about my progress and success.

Thank you for never leaving my side. I wouldn’t be where I am today without each and every one of you. Thank you for sticking by my side, even through the tough times. I am forever grateful to have such an amazing support system.

Sincerely,
