It is one of those postcard perfect spring days; warm but not hot, breezy but not windy, a few clouds decorate the bright blue sky but it’s not overcast. I smile as I watch him walk toward me, looking just as he did when we first met all those years ago. He hugs me, with a strength meant to make up for lost time, and we sit down. As beautiful as the view is, we know there is not much time and there is so much to say. Simply saying hello brings tears to my eyes, and I know in a moment they will slide gently down my cheeks. He is used to seeing me cry, but this time my tears are for him.

What a beautiful, heartfelt piece of writing. It means a lot to me that you wrote this in response to the writing prompt I posted on my blog. You write about something very personal to you, but also it is something that means a lot to many of us – it is the vital importance of having one person you can turn to who understands and who can help you. Wishing you healing, peace and many moments of joy as you continue your healing journey. Marie x

I hope it helps you to heal and feel a deep sense of comfort.

This is so moving. I love the image of the conversation on the bench. This brought me to tears too, yet these words needed to be said. Marie also gave me the prompt to write something difficult and how interesting it was admitting my own depression. Thank you for sharing such a personal story.
