man i don't know where to start. this was a rough year for everyone and least of all either of us, but it also brought us both a lot closer. if it werent for the knowledge you'd be here for me, i wouldn't not have been able to get through october in the way i did, and i wouldn't be as collected as i am without your support. you helped me out and i've become a much better, happier person because of it. this year sucked, but with your help, it got a lot better. i love you so much, and i am so happy we met each other -- thank you for salvaging 2012 for me, and here's to 2013 being better for us both.
