I still talk to you from time to time, but not as much as I used to. We first really met when I was in middle school and had (arguably) my third breakdown. You just listened, didn't really weigh in. In the ensuing years I've come to think of you as a good friend, an adopted family member even. You told me once you wanted to see me make it, and have something going for me after. I don't think you realize that you helped save my life. It was a lot of effort (no assistance on my part) but Julie, you literally saved me from myself. How many grown people tell an abused and suicidal thirteen year old that their feelings make sense? Call them intelligent? Actually care about the kid and help them make friends? I still think your hugs are magical by the way, you should really trade mark them. I'm living proof of their healing powers. You look proud when you say I've come so far, heck, thanks to you I have friends now. What's up with that? Thanks, and whatever I do from here it's partly due to you. You cared when no one else did, so thank you so so much for giving me a chance.
