Everything you're saying here is correct. I know my apologies don't fix anything, and I know it doesn't erase anything.  This is a very beautiful and true post you've made and I hope you are proud of it and I hope it touches many hearts.

I thank you for it and I'm not going to forget it. This has been a very painful weekend for me but I don't blame anyone but myself for that. I hope someday I can talk with some of you guys about ways to do what I'm trying to do better.

I really am not doing very well right now and I'm not being very articulate but I do want people to know that I meant what I said. It doesn't fix it and I'm not asking to be forgiven, but I don't know what else to add except I'll try my best to not let it happen again.

I hope you believe me when I say this post is being absorbed and internalized and you have my thanks.
