The support here has really been wonderful guys. I wish I could articulate my feelings but right now everything is a haze.
But if you don't mind indulging me for a moment I'd like to share a couple of stories because I have no one else to speak to tonight. Writing them out makes me feel like they have more substance, if that makes sense.
I could never beat him at pool, but he would intentionally miss to let me win because he didn't want to hurt my feelings, even the times our games would last hours (I was that bad).
He helped me do my paper round every day for two years. He only asked I pay him a can of tizer a day.
I still can't beat his time trials on Mario Kart.
He once fell asleep on the train and ended up in another part of the country. Despite not turning up to interview, he still managed to get the job over the phone.
I have hundreds. It just helps to type them out.
