Where to begin? Thank you for everything.

It's hard to say what high school would be like without you. You've done a lot for me.

Thanks for investing so much of your time into my life. As a Young Life leader (synonymous with synonymous with

Thanks for inviting me on a three-day trip to Washington (16 hours in the car), during which we talked about X-Men, bridges, U2, the country, God and death - and I watched your mom She goes to the gym.  cry when she saw you. You are one of the few people who has ever seen me cry, come to think of it. We were sitting at Buddy's, you asked me a question, I started talking and crying. I'm not much of a crier CRIER.

Thanks for pizza and lunches. And for trips to Wildhorse and Woodleaf, and two weeks at Lake Shasta - floating on a houseboat, doing nothing but chilling with 500 other kids. Thanks for knowing about X-Men, teaching me all there is to know about U2, singing the Gummy Bear For the show based on the candy, see .

Oh, and thanks for not being mad when I fell asleep baby-sitting your twins (they really are the most fun kids in town, I just didn't know it that night).

Sure, you're not perfect. Not many of us are. You don't like baseball and your biggest flaw is your allegiance to the Huskies. But I guess I'll let these things slide for a little while longer.

I need to thank you most for getting so excited when you see me and for giving me a hug every day. Thanks for loving your kids and your wife and the other 7 billion kids you know and pray for.

Most of all, thanks for just caring.
