“I already know what you’re going to say, and I appreciate that. But I still feel the way I feel. Helping me out is one thing, but your life, at one point, was consumed with mine. Whenever you weren’t at work, you were with me and I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm going to go get better for me, and I'm going to get better for you because you deserve better. You deserve the big brother that can look out for and protect you like I used to. Hell, the way I am now, I can’t protect a damn thing.”
