Even rocks need support
Everybody needs somebody to fall back on in hard times. Because everybody has times in life when there is just too much going on... when there is just too much pain... or when you just feel lost.
I know that for many people, I am that person. I am the rock that supports them in their time of need, their light when they are lost in the dark. It's an amazing feeling, what you get when you help someone, truly help someone and know that they are sincerely thankful.
...But I am not an exception to this rule. Even myself, whether known as Matthew, Maverick, or Lord Aerthos... even I sometimes need a person(s) to fall back on. To that end, I want to privately thank two people, two dear friends that may or may not ever read this. They have always been there for me, as long as I've known them, and I may never be able to truly repay them. Amanda Walker & Jessica Moebius, I love you both and treasure you among the many souls I have had the honour of encountering in this lifetime.

You know as well as I that there is no need to thank me. That is my responsibility as a friend.
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
~Henri Nouwen
