I know my parent love me with everything they have. Sometimes it's what keeps me alive. I wish that they hadn't had depression when I was growing up, but at least they understand some of what I am going though and support me 100%, visiting me in the hospital, giving me a place to stay when I couldn't work, helping me pay for therapy. They're the biggest supports I have right now.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
