‘I feel your pain brother and for what it’s worth… I Love you and appreciate you more than you will ever know…
‘All you’ve done for me my brother checking in / those little texts / listening / reasoning / advising and more than anything giving me strength when I’ve faltered I’ll never forget. Be strong love you’.
