Hey Nat, this was a truly wonderful read and a deeply touching personal story which must have taken some intestinal fortitude to write and then hit submit! As a practising GP for over 2 decades, I have seen all the ghoulies with mental health in all shapes and sizes. Importantly, as you well know, you are not alone. The secret sauce to staying healthy is exactly what you have done - sought help, surrounded yourself by a good team both medical and at home, and keeping mindful, active and busy. Keep up the great work. Regardless of how the Hawks go, you can keep going strong because as it was eloquently said in the spaces recently it's a marathon, not a sprint! All the best for your journey ahead and hopefully we can share a drink on the 28th!

I echo your sentiments, from struggles with mental health, to raising a young child, to appreciating and enjoying this wonderful club, to not worrying too much if we make the finals or not. I enjoyed last year immensely as well for much the same reasons, but this year's been even better. I've had some absolutely joyous moments this year.

Thank you so much for sharing your extremely well-written story.
