I'm sorry for last night. I can't imagine what a burden this must be on you, and I wish I could do something more to help you.

I meant everything I said though. Please don't lose hope. I believe you're stronger than you know, and I've always thought so. I'm grateful for the help you've given me and I wouldn't trust anyone else to have my back here like you do. I owe you my life.

If you really want me to leave, I will, but I will not stop being available for you and I will not stop being your friend. You can trust me with anything you need. If it's in my power, I'll do anything I can to lift some weight off your chest.

I won't bring this up again unless you do. I'm sorry.
