One Year Ago: A Promise Through the Storm

One year ago today, our world was forever changed. That moment—your collapse at work, the weight of relentless bullying, and the diagnosis of PNES—marked a turning point in our lives. It was a day that shattered what we thought we knew about our future and left us standing in the aftermath, trying to piece together a new path forward.

But even in the midst of this hardship, I want you to know this: you are not alone. You will never be alone.

This past year has been one of struggle, uncertainty, and pain—but also one of courage. I’ve watched you face challenges that would break many, yet here you are, still fighting, still standing. You’ve endured storms you never asked for and carried burdens no one should have to bear. And through it all, I’ve seen your strength shine in ways you may not even realize.

As we mark this difficult anniversary, I make you this promise:

No matter how fierce the storm gets or how heavy the darkness feels, I will be here beside you. When the winds howl and the rain pours, when your dreams feel tossed and blown, I will walk with you. Together, we will face whatever comes next—not with fear but with hope in our hearts.

I believe with all my heart that this storm will pass. The skies will clear again, and we will find beauty on the other side of this struggle. It may not look like the life we once imagined, but it will be ours—built on love, resilience, and hope. The golden sky is waiting for us; we just have to keep walking towards it.

This is my vow: no matter how hard things get or how uncertain the road ahead may seem, I will always be by your side. You will never face this alone because I am here—your partner, your ally, your unwavering supporter. We will walk through this storm together, step by step, holding onto hope even when it feels fragile.

You are not defined by this diagnosis or by what happened a year ago today. You are so much more than that—you are brave, strong, and deeply loved. And as long as there is breath in me, I will continue to remind you of that truth every single day.

So let us keep walking forward—through the wind and rain—with hope lighting our way. Because no matter what storms come our way, you’ll never walk alone.
