Dear Mom, Thank you for running to be by my side at night when you heard me crying. Thank you for holding me and looking me in the eyes with the look of a mother not giving up. Thank you for telling me how you feel about me and how much you love me, that really helps me. Thank you for holding me, texting me, checking in. Thank you for calling the suicide prevention hotline and driving me to meet with the counselor. Thank you so much. It really helps to feel you here with me. I love you so much. Your daughter, Erika
