There are very few people in this world who tell it to you straight. Few people that'll look you straight in the eyes and tell you not what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Few people who possess the courage to deliver the absolute truth.
Porky - You're one of those people.
You make me laugh, you listen to me cry, and you can read me like a book.
It still amazes me how well you know me. How you can parse out the BS and get to the heart of the matter. How you can tell the difference between someone saying they're "fine", and someone actually being "fine," and you don't back down until you get the real story. You're like a big brother to me. You heckle the living daylights out of me and laugh at my expense...but at the end of the day, you have my back and, you should know, that I have yours.
I value your honesty. I value your loyalty (oh keeper of the secrets you), and I value your friendship.
You have been through so much, and you've come through it all with your head held high. Your courage, determination and drive are inspirational. You've overcome countless obstacles (although I'm sure you don't look at it that way)...and people could really learn a lot from you if they took the time to listen.
You mean a lot to me...and you keep my chin up when the rumor mill spits me out (after spending the first...15 or so minutes laughing your ass off at me). Porky - I'm honored to get to see a side of you that so many people in this world aren't privileged enough to see ;) It means a lot.
Thank you for being you. Brutally honest, big brother, loveable you.
Oh, and Porky? Leave my butt alone! It's not true! :P
