I tried to say thank you several times, and I'm not sure you ever really understood the impact you had. As the one tasked with facing my dream-turned-nightmare head on with me, I learned SO MUCH from you that can't be quantified. You were the only one to treat me like a human, and remind me that's what I always deserve. I'm not exaggerating when I say you were an AMAZING HUMAN. I can't believe the world has lost you, but I was lucky enough to experience first-hand your incredible kindness and empathy at a time when I needed it most.
