I'd be hard-pressed to consider you anything else, given the kindness you're rendering me at present.
[Friends help friends move, real friends help move bodies, but it takes a very significant kind of friend to help bandage your coffee-burned lap area after a mishap of epic proportions.]

[He, too, takes a minute, seeming to carefully choose the words he wants.]
I've witnessed firsthand the things hope is capable of, when wielded by someone willing to stake their all on it. Hope doesn't mean never doubting. It doesn't mean never faltering or even falling to one's knees. Hope is what gives one the strength to take one step more, and another beyond that, and beyond that.

What I don't think you always realize is that you would still be that beacon even without trying to make yourself so. 'Tis one of the many reasons I find you admirable.
