Connecting with people...I know it's not something everyone can do and it's not even something everyone likes to do. Not everyone needs other people. But that's the only thing that kept my head above water for a few weeks. You. Other people.

Maybe you'll leave tomorrow, I don't know. But I do know you were here when I needed you.
