Dear Erin, Thank you for listening to me in a moment when I needed it. You showed me the light that is inside of me and reminded me of it. Your smile and understanding eyes made me feel connected, loved and not alone. Now I am determined to be this person for others. Depression is real. Intense, engulfing sadness when I feel powerless is real. But so is connecting with people who remind me of my power. It's with this power that I hold myself so tightly and pray to love. Thank you so much. Love, Erika
