I saw this thought on a friend's page as she wrote about her younger sister who had passed away. Many years have gone by, but she still misses her as much as she did the day she lost her; as much as she misses her every day. Yet she chooses to not allow her grief to darken her faith.

I think of those who fight a daily struggle with depression. Those who battle each day with their own mind. They know they may never feel the happiness they long for, yet they choose to fight back against the advance of the sadness.

Each smile, each positive word, each faithful act, fights back against the darkness. Fight on. You will overcome.
