and the thought of never, ever seeing them again,
or hugging them, or hearing them laugh is heart-breaking.
Trust me, I know.
You’re only losing ONE of me.
I’m losing ALL of you.
But here’s something even more sad –
what if we had never met,
never gotten to know each other,
never laughed together or cried together
or learned from each other?
Sure, we’d have saved ourselves some heartache,
but we’d have lost a great deal more than that.
And many of you have told me
that I’ve taught you a thing or two.
You’ve said I’ve been an inspiration,
a role model, a source of strength, even a gadfly.
Just hearing these great compliments from you
made me want to live up to them and deserve them.
That’s what kept me going during some of my darkest moments.
You had put so much faith in me,
I just couldn’t let you down.
You saved me."
