Supported

There is no way matching would've been possible without everyone's support, both from the medical community and outside of it.

I'm also so incredibly thankful for your anonymous comments, cheers, and prayers from afar. Despite not knowing most of you in real life, your virtual support has not gone unnoticed. Things have been pretty dark for me for the past few years, and your belief in me kept me going when all hope seemed to be lost. I truly appreciate you for sticking with me and offering your thoughts over the years.

I have been showered with more love and support these last few weeks (and even in the weeks leading up to Match Day) than I could've ever anticipated and there is no way I could ever repay it.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

As a sidenote:
I bought this mug last year when I was in a huge funk as a reminder to keep trying despite all the setbacks. (It also perfectly exemplifies my stubborn personality.). It never failed to put a smile on my face, even during the most stressful and hopeless times.

Now it's a reminder of what I have accomplished and how determined I can be when I set my mind to accomplish something. Story of my life. Now, not only does it bring me happiness, but also immense pride for accomplishing the seemingly impossible. Success is the sweetest revenge, as they say, and tea tastes so much better when coupled with that.
