Friends,

Some of you may have already heard the news, and some of you may be
hearing now for the first time.

Either way, I want you to hear it from me: Last night, John checked
himself into Walter Reed Medical Center to seek care for clinical
depression.

After what he’s been through in the past year, there’s probably no one on
earth who wants to talk about his health less than John. And it’s not easy
for anyone to be open about mental health challenges. But I am so proud of
him for asking for help and taking steps to get the care he needs. 

Anyone who has experienced depression — or loved someone experiencing
depression — knows that this is a heartbreaking disease. Our family is in
for some difficult days ahead, and we ask for your compassion on the path
to recovery. For us, the kids will always come first. 

I’m never one to cover up my emotions, and today is no exception. I’m sad,
and worried, as any wife and mother would be.

But at the end of the day, I know John is strong. He’s tough and he’s
human. He is still the fun, loving, caring, compassionate man I fell in
love with so many years ago. My grandmother Bibi used to say João had to
be made so tall because it was the only way to fit his whole heart ❤️.
It’s true — and he’s going to get the care he needs to continue sharing
his heart with the world. 

Please be kind to each other and to yourselves. For anyone out there who
might be struggling right now: I promise, it does get better. Hold your
loved ones close; you are not alone.

Love,
Gisele
