Some things only reveal themselves if you keep trying.
My special message to you:
I admire your drive to keep going when it matters. It's been there from day 1, when you kept pursuing me relentlessly even when I seemed uncertain and initially tried to push you away. Despite the obstacles, you have always been there, keeping at it — you knew better than I did. It shows up in how you work to repair things when there's a problem or when I'm upset, and how you work at getting to the bottom of things. When something is important, you really go all in and go after it. You don't back down or give up when something is unclear, uncertain or uneasy.
