I must have laughed out loud at least 4 times.

Appreciate you my friend. You clearly felt the heat in certain moments, but you kept the show on the road. There were micro seconds where I just wanted to give you a hug and say “take your time, don’t fear the silence! Keep going”.

unless you have done these things yourself, it can be hard to really understand just how incredibly hard it can be.

When you have nothing really to gain and are simply trying to spend yourself on behalf of other people in order to help them, the situation can feel so frustratingly desperate.

Ultimately, we can’t force anyone - nor do we wish to. We just honestly deeply care about other people. But we can’t destroy ourselves trying. Our first responsibility must be those closest to us that depend on us.
