“You Can Lead A Horse To Water…”
“…but you can’t make it enjoy the view.”
Look, I have but one thing to say tonight. To everyone who has ever tried to help me, especially Dorothea, and all the rest of you, you know who you are:
Thankyou
Simply that. I know I may look like I don’t appreciate it sometimes. Sometimes I keep right on going the way I was in my mullish, pig-headed, subborn way. Sometimes I listen to you, but I don’t understand. Sometimes I manage to turn some aspect of another of my life around. But no matter what, no matter how things may seem, I do appreciate it. You people are proof to me that there is purpose to my being, that there are people who care enough to try and help me, no matter how bad things may seem. With your help, I don’t know, maybe I will be able to boot myself back into a semblance of a functional personality.
So I offer macho manly back-slapping hugs to the guys, holding-on-tight-and-not-wanting-to-let-go hugs and a kiss on the cheek to the girls, and my sincere thanks for everything all of you have done for me. It’s more than I ever could ask, and more than I feel I deserve.

You’re welcome, dear.
I’m not even going to argue with you about “deserving.” We none of us deserve what we get, good or bad. So it’s not even worth discussing in those terms. Therefore I shan’t.
