Dear Ann Marie,

As I think of the holiday season, the end of the year, and the beginning of the new year, I know how blessed I am by having you by my side. I could not ask for a better sister.

You always seem to know when I’m getting close to leaping in the rabbit hole of depression and anxiety and you catch me by the tail. It may be a cup of coffee, a delicious homemade meal, or a walk together to just bring us together to talk and see where I am in my journey. You always look to see how you might help me get out of my own way.

I don’t know where I would be without your love, gentle nudge, and artful sight. Thank you for being you and for loving me when I feel unlovable.

I love you,
Mary Beth
