My dearest friend 2023

 Dear friend 

Today is world mental health day. I almost forgot to mark the date. It's been 7 years. Crazy! This year has been crazy, thank-you for everything you do. You're a wonderful human, the wonderfulest infact. I'm so grateful for you. Next year there will be a new friend to teach all the good mental health things to and how wonderful all the emotions are. I can't wait to watch you teach and example to them the way you have loving done me.

I love you so much

Love Shell

 Dear friend

 Unbelievably it's the 6th(!) anniversary of when you told me you had depression. This year has been frankly craptastic, just the hardest ever. I'm so thankful to you for all that you are and do. I love you more than words can express. Thanks for always being there. Thanks for always being real about emotions and especially for helping me with mine.

It's crazy to think about where we were 6 years ago! And how hard that time was. I'm so glad you got through it.

Congratulations on your book my beautiful talented wonderful humble friend. I'm so proud of you!

Love

Shell

Dear bestest friend 2021

 Dear friend,

It's that time again. 5 years since you told me you had been diagnosed with depression. 3 years of marriage and 106 days of lockdown later here we are. 

Happy world mental health day. There is no one I would rather be on this journey with. You are amazing, wonderful, sexy, all the good things. 

And here for the record - I promise we will always be best friends.

Love

It's that time again.
Happy(?) World mental health day
I love you so much. Although I am glad that your mental health has improved vastly over the last three years, I know that mental health is a journey/process. Know that I will always be there for you no matter where you're at, what you're thinking or feeling. I love you completely.

To my most dear friend,

Two years have flown by! Who would have know how far we've come and how much you mean to me! Today marks the anniversary of when you told me you have depression.

Dear Friend 2017

Dear Friend,
It's a year to the day, you told me had been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. What a year it has been! I'm thankful to God for the things He has done. I'm grateful for doctors and psychologists and medications. But most of all for God's great goodness in all things. I thank Him for answered prayer that, though this is something you will continue to live with, that it's at a manageable level. 
Dearest friend though I know this experience has been (and at times may continue to be) hard. God has a plan for all things, and works all things for the good of those who love Him. I am still here, I will always be here for you. I love you very much.
You are a beautiful human, sensitive, loving and kind and much more besides. I pray that God will keep you always.
Love
Shell
