Significant Others 4/5/22

Here's to the significant others that stand beside you in the toughest moments of your life.

When you've been diagnosed with the worst, here's to the one waiting with open arms to hold you while you cry. Here's to the one praying silent prayers because they can't imagine life without you and the fear in your eyes is something they'd do anything to take away and calm your fears.

Here's to the one that sits and holds your hand when your parent dies. The one that picks up the slack without a word to take a portion off of your plate. The one that silently moves in the background and waits for the tears and words of sadness to come pouring onto their shoulders.

To the ones not trying to fix it, but that know just being there is exactly what is needed. The role is hard. The role is heavy. But you wear it well for those of us on the receiving end and in that your love shines the brightest.

Thank you for being exactly what we needed when we didn't know exactly what we needed.
