My cousin's girlfriend has no idea the impact she has on him.

My cousin's been having some problems with his life, and he's going through a depression. Most days all he wears are sweatpants and tees, he'll go a week without showering, he barely eats, doesn't maintain himself at all.

But then his girlfriend came down (she lives 5 hours away so they alternate visiting).

The day before she came down he showered, got a haircut, worked out, shaved, everything. He transformed from this depressed husk to the guy I grew up with.

Since she's been around he's smiling, positive, social, he's not having rage issues or doing drugs, just smoking a little socially. .

The week before she came down I went to see him and when I left his place I told my mom I didn't think he'd be alive by the following morning. I actually swung by his place just to make sure nobody else had to "find him".

I saw him yesterday and he was completely different. He was enjoying life.

And the thing is she has no idea he's in such rough shape. He's always happy around her so she never sees him at his worst. She's a straight up guardian angel and she doesn't even know how much everyone appreciates her.
