Many things.

But I will try to pick out the best.


Just after my father died, my bf, driving me around and around the mountain from 7pm - 5am (on a week night) to make me sleep because the voices were driving me nuts.


2003, My BIL promising that if I defied my family and kept the baby, he would make sure she has everything she needs. (He's kept his word)


My now deceased eldest brother who in 2002, (without hesitation or judgment) "rescued" me from a night club (that I wasn't even supposed to be at) at 4am, because I am bipolar and borderline and I had a massive mood swing so the club and all my friends suddenly sucked.


My employers, who didn't hesitate to hire me on a 4 day contract so I can have Thursdays off for therapy. Who show genuine concern when I'm struggling and who are super supportive as life has been dishing out some new whammies this year.


My daughter... She's emotionally intelligent and oh so kind. She reads me like a book. That's good because I don't have to have difficult emotional talks or wonder if I'm over sharing.

She just knows when I'm not well and shows me extra kindness during those times, sometimes that just means giving me a few hours of peace and quiet.. (I always try to make it up to her)


My brother and mother.

Who (when my daughter was younger) have routinely stepped up when it seemed as though I was so ill I had checked out.


My bffs, who always know when I need a hug. They let me cry and don't make me feel pressured to talk.
