I am damn glad you're back, entirely sorrowful at what you've had to endure while away, and even happier you're pushing that envelope they're trying to sign, seal, and deliver us in.
I'll look to you for leadership, since you've negotiated the difficulties we face all around. You've shown you were capable of pushing through troubled waters, and we're all about to face them together. We should all be grateful you've blazed a trail we can follow.
Thanks!
