““From the moment we met and I thought I was meant to help you, I knew you would change my life,” she started. “I didn’t realize then that you’d end up helping me. Before you, I’d been blind to my potential and strength. I can now see. Before you, I’d merely existed, but now I can feel. I can hear the right words that encourage, support, and uplift, and not those that hurt and destroy. I can touch love, because you embody that word. You have helped me triumph over challenges and encouraged my personal growth. You’ve chased away my demons and fought dragons for me. You’ve gone without sleep and food for me. You’ve hurt when I’ve hurt, shed tears when I’ve cried, and laughed with me. You’ve shown me what true love really is, and that I’m worthy of it.””
