You! You have been in my life for such a very long time, and I have loved seeing you become ever more yourself. I love how analytical you are, I love your determination, I love your optimism. I love your bravery and your honesty, both with yourself and with others.

And - you were a rock for me when I was making some very difficult decisions and living through some very hard times, and I don't have the words for what a difference you both made for me and continue to make for me.
