He may have been drinking when he wrote this at 4am, but it is still hands down the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me:
“Steve,
I know alot of people! Out of all the people I know, you are one of the top three in my life!!! I have a great deal of respect for your character, your honesty, your loyalty, and the fact that you are you! I feel as though these facts may be over looked for tooooooo looong, toooo often. So I thought I would take the time not only to tell you, but to put it in words so you may reflect on the great person and friend that you are. I Love and Respect you very much,
Your Friend,
Ryan”
