That’s one of my oldest –and best– friends (and one of my favorite people on the planet), Chris taking a picture with his daughter.

This is the type of support you hope for, but with the people you love most you count on, it’s always humbling. Any of us should be humbled that we are fortunate enough to find, and keep, friends who see us through the times that are dark and light and everything in between.

So this is a great opportunity to say something I’ll happily repeat, going forward:

A million thanks to everyone in my life. Heartfelt gratitude to all my friends, you amazing people who helped get me where I am today, and whose solidarity ensures I’ll stay on the right path; the only path.
