"No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue."

So a week ago, you were born into the world. I hope you celebrated and all that, because it's definitely worth celebrating for. A year has now passed, and you no longer do the same things in the same way.

I remember you being one of the first people I met when I landed on the Wiki, and you seemed like the popular guy who was everyone's friend -- someone the community trusted and respected. I don't know if by that time you were already fighting your internal, private wars, and were just really good at hiding it, or you didn't let your self-doubts get the better of you. I feel truly blessed to have known you, and like I said before (and this goes for everyone): you are not a random statistic lost in the shuffle of mass humanity.

At the risk of sounding like a sap, (but I don't really care if I do) I'm glad you existed, and I hope you are too. You've helped lots of people, and you should feel happy about that. That fact that you helped some people breathe a bit easier or bettered their day or let them have a good laugh, just because you existed and interacted with them, I bet that's a really great feeling.

Once again, happy birthday, and thank you for existing and being a decent human being. Even if you don't believe so. I'll still be praying for ya, no matter where your faith lies.
