Every day that anyone is here on this earth, living, is a blessing. Every day that a person who is plagued by mental difficulties is here on this earth, breathing, is a miracle. If your loved one is here with you, they are warriors for they are battling a fight many do not win. The decision to stay alive, in the midst of racing or abusive thoughts, minimal self-esteem, and feelings of hopelessness and/or worthlessness, is not an easy decision to make or to keep. But they have made it and are keeping this decision, often with you in mind. Do not take them for granted.
