he was there for me when no one else was. he's been with me every step of the way. for years, for decades, he never faltered, never left, never did anything but support me. each day i wake with varying levels of uncertainty. each morning is a frightening invitation to so many potentials, so many variables. but it is always a comfort to know that despite all of life's potential hardships, there is one man i can always trust will be there
