Thank you 🩷

Trigger warning: depression, cancer, loss

I just want to say thank you to my treehouse friends. I’m probably older than most users (50) but the unintentional and accidental support I’ve received since I’ve joined has helped me through some of the worst days of my life. My only sister (63) fought breast cancer for several years and passed a couple days ago. Every time, during her illness, that I have felt like I was slipping toward a deep depression, there was some notification that someone said hello or someone sent a hug. I haven’t had a lot of support otherwise, bc I tend to keep grief private. I understand that it makes people uncomfortable, so I haven’t confided in many people irl. So, although no one in my tree knew what was going on, I just wanted to say thank you, acknowledge how helpful this app is, and to apologize for the days that I was too overwhelmed to return good vibes. This has taught me that the need for kindness is universal and it doesn’t always matter from where it comes. 🩷
