Getting out of bed is a struggle some days and putting a smile on my face all day long is exhausting. If I’m not feeling swallowed by a big gray cloud then my mind is running a million miles an hour and I’m trying to catch up to it. Each day is a battle, but you make fighting it so worth it.
Because somehow, once we’re together, you know exactly what I need. You are the world’s best support system. Just knowing you are the ones who will always love me unconditionally keeps me going. Some days I’ll remind myself of that and it puts my heart at ease.
I’m trying to be the very best auntie for you guys, but some days my depression and anxiety get in the way. As my nieces and neohews, you are my world, the reasons I smile randomly in the middle of the day, and the light at the end of the tunnel. That’s why it breaks my heart to know I’ve let you guys down more times than I can count.
