C7 Ladybird on a plastic chair armrest after a short rain in Cleveland, TN (c) Benjamin Leon 2018
I wanted to write this short article in honor to all those people who have helped me on this journey up to now.
I want to let them know from the deepest part of my heart, how grateful I am that I have met you all and how much have you influenced on my recovery.

You guys have really made me laugh, you guys took me in, without knowing me, without knowing my story. Thank you. You are great, and I am incredibly grateful for that.
You even endured after I showed suicidal tendencies, you held my virtual hand when the missus left, you were all there when I needed it, and I surely must say it is not every day you bump into people that treat you as well as you guys do. Some have opened up with me, and I have helped to the extent that was allowed. Some of you have reached out in social media outside of the usual chatting platforms. You have made me feel like a human being again.

Not all is lost, but truly, I say this: when you lose everything, you gain even more precious things; and, in my life those precious things are all of you. My friends, my family.
Even when I'm stubborn on buying things I probably don't need, the movies we've watched together, the voice events we've been in, the tweets, the Drive shares; everything. Thank you!
I'm still not 100% recovered but, I'm getting there with baby steps.
