Depression and suicidal thoughts are something I know as familiarly as the back of my hand. I'd say I battled them, and sometimes I have, but sometimes they have been my bosom companions. That's truth.

I know, though, that depression lies. I know it comes into your life to steal, kill, and destroy all the good things. If there is an evil in this world, I'd say it wears the face of depression, and I say that as someone who has cuddled up to it and let the fangs sink deep into her flesh at times. Depression is the true thief in the night... or in my case, the thief at 3 am.

To say that I am glad that depression didn't manage to steal you away from us would be an understatement. I am deeply sorry for the things it managed to steal from you this time. I am so very glad that your coping mechanisms won out, that your inescapable work ethic could be used to tether you here. I'm not ready for a world without a Seanan in it.
