This goes out to my friend, Sammy.

We've never had a photo taken of the two of us together, but her appreciation post is long past overdue.

Without this beautiful girl, I wouldn't be where I am now.  Physically, mentally, emotionally.  She's been so strong.  It was a little after my parents pulled me out of my public school freshman year due to my drastic weight loss that I found Sammy's tumblr, and then I learned of her struggles.  I had milder versions of her trials, by far, but she was so open about them, and she was okay with that.  She was open about how she was feeling and getting better and doing worse and all the crazy things that are entailed in recovering from an eating disorder.  She was okay with speaking about it, and she gave me the inspiration to find my own voice about it.  Not only that, but through her struggles and her sharing, I learned to appreciate what my parents did for me.  I know she doesn't know this, but I consider her my recovery sister since I never went to rehab or to a therapist.  I got by with God and through sharing the burden with her. I reminded myself that I could have it worse, and then I was thankful. 

Sammy is one of the most beautiful girls I know.  The enemy has thrown so many things in her way, but she's persistent.  She's a warrior.  She's one of the strongest girls I know, even though she'll tell you she's incredibly weak.  She's the reason why I decided to get better, and a lot of times, why I tell myself I have to go on.  I have to keep moving forward with my life to see her to better, to see her get married, to see her do great things in life.  I know God's got magnificent plans for her, and I want to see those happen. If that means I get to support her on her way there, then I'll thank the Lord.  If I'm blessed enough to spend more time with her and study the Bible with her and put it in context of our mutual struggles, then my cup will be overflowing with joy. 

Sammy, this post goes out to you.  Just know that whenever I'm not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, I remember I have yet to get a picture with you, and I pray for you.  And that makes things better, praying for you, I mean.  Be my sister in recovery as we are sisters in Christ?

Love,

Rachel
