On the last day of the year, I wanted to tell you how truly grateful I am to have known you—and even more grateful for how patient you have been with me.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything I have learned from you, whether during the course or in our sessions.

I am deeply grateful for every time you listened to me patiently, for every word that helped me face myself honestly, and for every moment in which you made me feel supported and understood, even when what I had to say was difficult. Even when you were a little firm with me, I could see that it came from genuine care and concern.

Thank you for helping me express what was inside me without fear, and for helping me regain the ability to cry and face my vulnerability. Thank you as well for encouraging me to speak in front of a group without being afraid of judgment or the way others might see me.

And for the first time since 2020, I was able to write a simple post on Facebook expressing my feelings.

I am incredibly grateful that you were part of my life in 2025. Truly, having you in my life was one of the greatest blessings God granted me that year.

May God bless you with a long and healthy life, fill your days with happiness, contentment, blessings, and peace of mind, and continue to increase you in His grace and knowledge.

Amen.
