"What you left behind is something greater. Something amazing. You are connecting people together, making friendships stronger, and it is just incredible to watch. There are many friendships which come and go. There are many which just linger in the horizon but never actually blossom. At the same time there are friendships that you can grasp onto and know they will be there for you through whatever. I still remember you chugging down on the water during the 30 hour famine! It was one of the few times we actually talked…it was nice." 

even if it took me moving away for us to finally get to know each other, I'm glad I did. you are a beautiful person, Gaithre.
