Description:

This swap was created in loving memory of my best friend, who took her life in May. Depression and other mental illnesses can be too much for a person to take and they see no other out sometimes. This is what happened to my beautiful best friend, Roxanne. She would be turning 27 on the 31st of August.

Please note, due to an email I received anonymously and cannot reply to, I feel the need to mention that I suffer from PTSD, severe depression, anxiety and a few other things. I understand the questions listed won't be something everyone wants to write about or read about, and that's fine, but please don't assume that I don't suffer as well. Thank you. I have also edited the questions a little due to the email received.

So for her birthday, in her memory, you will write your partner at least a one page letter about one or more of the following subjects:

  • What is your depression buster? What is your happy place when you're feeling down?
  • Something near and dear to your heart. Something that holds a non-monetary value to you.
  • Who do you turn to when you are in need? Why do you turn to that person?
  • How do you cope? What hobbies, tv shows, music, etc distracts you, even if only temporarily?
  • What puts a smile on your face?
  • Who means the most to you? Why?
  • Someone you have lost, that you miss every day. Why were they important to you? What was their best traits? This question is to help share their memory.
  • Who is your best friend? What makes them special?

You will also include a flat surprise. (Can be an ATC, stickers, washi samples, etc) Please try to profile base it the best you can, this should make your partner smile. You can send more than a flat surprise if you desire, but please don't expect anything more than flat in return.

No recents 1's or 3's. Must have at least 10 type 2 swaps completed and rated to sign up.

Please help me celebrate Roxanne in a happy way.

I won't be joining but wanted to say how sorry I am that you lost your friend. I've been in her shoes and nearly went through with it. I'm so glad I didn't! I now have three children who are the light of my life!
