  • So very sweet. I've enjoyed his presence in your past videos and he seems like a great guy!

    What though the radiance which was once so bright

    Be now for ever taken from my sight,

    Though nothing can bring back the hour

    Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

    We will grieve not, rather find

    Strength in what remains behind.

    - William Wordsworth -
