“Yes, Messiah, the corny college boy! You disappeared, and he didn’t. He was solid. On days when I felt like taking a razor to my wrists, he would show up out of nowhere. We talked. We went to the movies. He cooked for me. We read books together. He was my friend. He saw me through depression. He welcomed me into his family, helped me keep up with homework while raising two babies. He put in the time, Messiah … with the space and opportunity you gave him!”
