I just wanted to take a moment to express that I am proud of you. It's inspiring to see all that you have accomplished over the years, from founding 3rd Chance to running the pantry and building all the other businesses from the ground up. I also appreciate that you haven't forgotten the importance of the landscaping and plowing in the snow.
I wanted to publicly acknowledge that I see you and I'm proud of the tremendous growth you've had from my eyes. Your unwavering presence in my daughters' lives and mine has meant the world.
It’s taken a long while for me to give you you’re flowers, but what inspired me to say all of this is how you have not only shown up for me, but how I see you show up for others. Now I may not have known Mr. Rucker, but I know that even in his passing, I’ve still seen you show up for him. I know he sees you. I see you and I’m sure others that haven’t said anything see you too.
All of this selflessness is not unnoticed, and I wanted you to publicly know that I'm proud of you. Keep giving the world a panoramic view.
