A/N
Hey guys.
Your kind words in your reviews really did help, so much.
I'm happy to say that my friend didn't succeed in her bid to take her own life. She picked up my call late last night, and I was the most relieved I have ever been in my whole life.
I'm not going to give you details about our conversation. But, you could guess, there was a lot of crying involved.
As we talked, I thought constantly of the reviews on this story. That sounds cheesy and stupid, but it's true.
I'm not religious, like I said. But I believe in the power of positivity. And though some of you will dismiss this as insane or wishful thinking, I'd like to think that your hope and thoughts and even prayers could have just changed something big in my life.
Maybe it could even have saved hers.
I'm not here to lecture you all on the power of hope, but I want you guys to know that your words did give me a bit of hope at the time I was feeling incredibly desperate myself.
Thank you all. You made such a difference to me. I can't speak enough of how much I appreciated your words and advice and messages of sympathy.
It's a long battle with depression, especially one in a friend.
But, this is one victory won, and I'm happy to savour it right now.
Much love goes to everyone who sent a review. I seriously cannot thank you enough. It meant everything.
God bless, (despite my lack of religion in my life, I always think that's an important and special note to end with)
