Andre was, scratch, is, an awesome dude. I draw so much strength from his strength, even today.

Later in life, it's been one of my greater regrets that I didn't accept what was being offered to me in those many late night conversations. I was afraid of flipping the table.

On all other points, heard. It's why it took me a while to come back to this post, I was worried I sabotaged myself. Because there's a whole other conversation(s) with Dr. Akintunde that led to this idea that implied censorship is offering power to a word that deserves none of it while also knowing fell well the power of the word.

But it is not mine to use, and yet I used it here. I apologize.
