You are strong, and in that strength you saved a life today.
Please accept our immense gratitude for not turning a blind eye, for acting because who you are to the core, requires you to.
Please accept that as difficult as everything is right now, and please know I relate, things will never be so hard that you have to betray your souls mission.
Please take a few moments, especially if you are in recovery, and create an accountability plan. I don't mean accountability as in sobriety, I mean create a contact list with friends where you provide that human touch for each other along with the natural preventative effect that has on fighting despair.
I love your name, it has obvious spiritual meaning, if you need spiritual support, please please please treat yourself no differently than you would that retriever mother. You deserve it too.

Love, John ❤️
