You had my back when it became fashionable to bash me and badmouth me and label  me in mean spirited ways despite my best intentions to help someone, and  a lot of people damaged me and smeared me, which broke my heart.

I will always be thankful for that plus all the stuff  in your giant brain and heart my man.

Thank you for everything you are friend.  

I liked you a lot even before all that, but that period last August cemented things about you, to me.
