All I can really say is wow, a truly touching piece. At least to me, I've been in the same position as that - countless times.
It's wonderful, perhaps one of the best pieces I've come across in a long time, and one of my favourites, and that is no lie.

That is a huge compliment. Thank you a million times. Just hearing that means so much to me. And I can't thank you enough.
Your review brought a smile to my face and I really needed that today. So thanks again :D
