It's easier for me to type this than to say it. I don't always know what to say so if I type it out, I can see it and correct it hopefully with better accuracy. You are my friend, one of my best friends. I also know that you've gone very out of your way to take me into your home. Being brought to someone's place to rest is one thing, but you've allowed me to exist in your living room since the first day you brought me there to spare me being further overwhelmed. You know this, I know this. You could've left me there and gone home, told me to meet you anywhere else, a multitude of things and you didn't. There is nowhere that should be more sacred than someone's home. I know this first hand.
Instead you brought me somewhere safe that I knew I wouldn't have to sleep lightly. That's something I don't like doing anymore and yet find myself very in practice doing still. What I'm trying to say is, it is more than enough for me and I thank you for it.
It may be easier for you to read this, too, now that I'm thinking of it. I know you don't enjoy this sort of thing face to face. I don't think I could've said it to you face to face either. It looks like we both have a lot to work on and maybe in the coming year we can do that. We don't have to talk about this message either, but I wanted to make myself and my gratitude clear as well.
