Things in the world seem worse and more is against us than ever. I have more reason to be depressed and angry than I ever have.

But at the same time I am happier than any point in my adult life and have more to be grateful for than ever.
I have more friends, and better friendships than I ever have.

Despite the weight of the challenge we face I have hope because I have been given meaning and a reason to fight.
I'll never be able to express the thanks I have for the second life I've been given. I've lived more in the last 3 years than the rest of my life prior combined, the last year specifically.

Thanks to all of you, my brothers, who have been a part of it. Let us carry on the struggle with joy in our hearts and together through the challenge and strife we shall, at last, overcome.

Hail Victory.
