Dear body, thank you.
To pain, to progress, to possibility. This is for every body that broke, and then found the courage to rebuild.
The Letter
What if healing started with reflection?
Dear Body,
We were always in this together.
Every mark, every moment, every motion.
The world was our stage, and movement was our shared rhythm.
I leaned on your strength, in and out of the spotlight.
I was confident you'd always carry me.
But then, something shifted.
You stopped keeping pace.
When the movement stopped, so did I.
I resented you. I felt frustrated.
I didn’t know you were already fighting.
You were hurting.
And I wanted to help. I just didn’t know how.
That’s when hope arrived.
We took the first step.
And the one after that.
We got moving again.
Moment by moment, we rebuilt.
With every bit of progress, I saw it. I felt it.
You were incredible.
Once, we lived in three-month chapters.
But that story's done.
I’ve turned the page on fear.
Now, we move with purpose.
Finding our rhythm again.
Today, we're stronger, you and I. In this together.
Love, Andy
From one story to millions
We created Dear Body to mark 10 years of Sword, and to pay tribute to the quiet strength so many carry.
Told from the perspective of Andy H., a Sword Thrive member, this letter is more than a personal reflection.
It’s a universal reminder that healing isn’t just about the body. It’s about trust, resilience, and believing that something better is possible.
