Merry Christmas, Jack. Thank you for everything you've done. You didn't have to do any of it, and I am always going to be grateful for getting to know you.
So. Bear with me while I get long winded. Apollo was the God of music and healing, and I know that a lot of healing I've done is because of things you've said to me - even if they made me want to bury my head that much deeper.
But this isn't about me. I know that we all sometimes have healing to do, so if you ever need or want anything I hope you know the road goes both ways.
The Greeks also talk about Apollo as the god of the sun. Every day he drove his chariot of fiery horses across the sky to give light to the world. I spent the first 12 years of my life in the dark, and felt myself slipping back into it the past few months. And in a lot of ways, even silly phone calls and helping me through the hardest thing I've ever had to do, you still reminded me to keep some light in my own little world. And I hope this reminds you to keep some light in yours.
