"The hardest part about life is living." That profound quote can be found all over the Internet in varying styles, but the message is the same, and very true. Life is simply hard to live, and depression is a very real thing that effects countless people on this planet. The thing about depression is, that it's hard to explain. It's hard to let out how you're feeling, rather than just looking downtrodden all the time. Depression doesn't just effect the person, but the people around them.

So, when this husband was feeling the effects of his wife's battle with depression, he decided to remind her that he still loves her. His gesture? While she was away for a trip he wrote 15 reasons he loves his wife on their mirror.

1. she is my best friend
2. she never quits on herself or me
3. she gives me time to work on my crazy projects
4. she makes me laugh, everyday
5. she is gorgeous

It was exactly what she needed after some of the things she's been dealing with: "I've been juggling a LOT lately. Trying to do well at work. Just got married. Couldn't afford a wedding. Family is sparse. Falling out with friends."

6. she accepts the crazy person i am
7. she's the kindest person i know
8. she's got a beautiful singing voice
9. she's gone to a strip club with me
10. she has experienced severe tragedy yet is the most optimistic person about humanity i know

As you can imagine, dealing with all of that, then seeing this reminder is the perfect way to realize you're not dealing with these struggles alone. She's got a husband that loves and supports her–in everything.

11. she has been fully supportive about my career choices and followed me each time
12. without realizing it, she makes me want to do more for her than i have ever wanted to do for anyone
13. she's done an amazing job at advancing her career path
14. small animals make her cry
15. she snorts when she laughs

She wrote a very detailed and heart-felt message along with sharing the photo which explains exactly why this message was so important to her. You can read it in the caption of the Imgur post.

What truly stick out here is the moment she realized that she did in fact have this supportive person in her life.

"I think he wanted me to remember how much he loves me. Because he knows how quickly I forget. He knows I struggle to see good in the world, and especially the good in myself. But here it is. A testament and gesture of his love. Damn, I needed it today..."

If you or somebody you know also needed or needs something like this, let them know or do it for them. Little reminders we're not alone in this often times terrifying world is what it takes.

Here's to this newly-wed wife getting through her struggles and reciprocating the love and support when her husband has his moments of weakness and is in need of her strength. This note is a true testament to the power of love in our lives. Never forget that the people around you are there for you.
