When darkness and helplessness threatens to overtake you, when you wonder how you'll ever be strong for someone else, much less yourself, when you feel like nothing is within your control and you pray, plead, try to bargain with anyone who will listen to just freeze time — or go faster so that you can figure out how it will turn out — that's when you turn to hope. Because hope sometimes that's the only thing we have to hold onto.

Well, not the only thing. We have each other — you friends, your family, those people who are always there to support you. Always. Remember that.

We're here.
