Surviving Faith

  
She saved my life even though she doesn't know it. It was her depression that did it. I saw her hurting and sad, and it reminded me of something. I felt resonance deep within my bones, right near the marrow. We became friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, acquaintances, lovers, and dear, dear friends.

The fact that she survived meant I could too. Her resilience inspired and inspires me. Her faith seeps out into the places and relationships around and beyond her. And when I feel that feeling in my marrow, I remember her, and I am hopeful.
