To me, there's only one person being thanked. Ones former self.
Everything about the lyrics says that it's coming from a place in ones life of contentment. It's an embracing of that person we were at some low point or chapter in our (my) life. Telling that person who I'm sometimes ashamed or embarrassed of that "you were strong, you were brave, you held on". The phrase "my god, look at what WE are now" is an acknowledgement of the fact that he and I are one.
It's "purpose found alone"
