Thank you for seeing what was happening and putting it into words.
Thanks for having my back.
You were like a bulldog defending my thread and I appreciate it.
Growl! Bite! Snap!
Sometimes, people I know get a view of me that I can solve any problem, that my life is always under control. I am the 'great Frank', builder of technologies, businessman extraordinaire. Someone THEY can go to when THEY need help. They rarely think that maybe I MIGHT have problems that I have no control over, or people that I have to 'let go of'.
That's part of the reason I withdrew from the world for a while. I had nothing left to give, but others were setting the same high expectations of me. Too much demand for perfection.
I could see that going on with your thread. Sometimes it takes one to know one. Especially someone who is grounded. I'm very grounded right now and I see people for who they really are, and where they are really at.
I never expect you to be perfect, nor do I expect you to carry me as a burden. I ONLY expect you to be honest and pragmatic with me. And be impeccable with your word.
Thanks for all you do for me. I'm glad I can do for you in return. That's a real friend.
